Description

Description

I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request.

I found the excellent PR "Pass Install Extras to Markers" https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/9553

I tried the same idea, but that the default (no extra) installation would install the package.

What I want:

poetry install -> install requests lib with no extras
poetry install -E requests_abc -> install requests lib with "abc" extra.

I tried this snippet:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.10"
requests = [
    { markers = "extra != 'requests_abc'", version = "8.1.2"},
    { markers = "extra == 'requests_abc'", version = "8.1.2", extras=["abc"] }
 ]

[tool.poetry.extras]
requests_abc = ["requests"]

But when I install poetry without any extra, I don't get the requests package at all. In poetry.lock file, I see that the package has optional=true. What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug or an unsupported feature?

Workarounds

None that I know of

Research direction

Start by reproducing the dependency declaration from the issue in a pyproject.toml and compare poetry install with poetry install -E requests_abc, then inspect the resulting poetry.lock entry. Done means the default installation includes requests while the named extra also enables its abc extra, or the behavior is documented as unsupported.
