feat(console/commands): add --all-groups

Pull Request Check List

Resolves: N/A

• Added tests for changed code.
• Updated documentation for changed code.

This adds a utility flag --all-groups to install which enables all available
dependency groups.

It's handy if you have lots of groups which you almost always want.

[lovesegfault]

One alternative to this would be to treat all a special value to --with, so you could say --with=all and it would understand that.

I felt like a separate CLI flag was less magic though.

[lovesegfault]

Hm, I guess one cool thing about allowing --with=all is you could do things like:

poetry install --with=all --without='foo,bar'

Which reads less awkwardly than

poetry install --all-groups --without='foo,bar'

Another idea: perhaps --all-groups should just force optional=false for everything, and then it also can compose cleanly with --without.

@abn Thoughts?

I would like to understand how common this use case is.

Another change I was thinking was to allow for a group to extend from another. If we had something like that I wonder if this is still something that makes sense.

[tool.poetry.group.foo.dependencies]
pytest = "*" 

[tool.poetry.group.bar]
extends = ["foo"]

[tool.poetry.group.bar.dependencies]
aiohttp = "*"

I like that a lot, I'm going to give it a shot :)

I'm guessing this is now stale, but FWIW I would like this functionality as well. I have 4-5 groups, and in some cases I always want to install all of them. This would be easier than having to update CI scripts or what not if a group is ever added.

[jgangemi]

is this issue dead? has it been succeeded by anything? i could also use this functionality.

[tomzx]

I think it's fair to be able to install all groups without having to specify them all. How about extending --with to support --with="*" which will match all groups?

[jgangemi]

that's workable for me. what wound be the stain getting this implemented?

[sobolevn]

I also have a use-case for it, sad that this is not implemented.

[randolf-scholz]

A trivial use case: To keep an overview over development dependencies, I like to organize them by groups. (linters, formatters, typing, testing, documentation, etc.) Otherwise, it just becomes an unwieldy long list.

[MischaPanch]

Same for me, any chance to reopen this?

[vancromy]

Just to add on here that a classic use case (at least within our org) is to ensure that versions are up to date for all groups. This is done both in a CI/CD pipeline to ensure our lock files are updated with poetry update --no-interaction --lock --with=all_groups and also done during development. It's a hassle having to hardcode groups in our CI/CD config files and remembering to keep these up to date. It would be really nice having a handy shortcut for installing/updating all dependency groups.
