conan test_package doesn't see options

See original GitHub issue

Hi, it seems that “conan test_package” command doesn’t see options any more, e.g. I’ve cloned the following repo: https://github.com/lasote/conan-zlib and got the following

C:\projects\conan>git clone https://github.com/lasote/conan-zlib.git zlib_lasote

ERROR: C:\projects\conan\zlib_lasote\test_package\conanfile.py: 'options.shared' doesn't exist
Possible options are []

Requirements
    zlib/1.2.8@lasote/stable from conan.io

zlib/1.2.8@lasote/stable: Already installed!

so, “conan install” works, but “conan test_package” doesn’t, any ideas?

Hi, sometimes asking for an option (typically shared=True) for some packages should not lead to an error even when the package doesn’t provide a definition for it.

Indeed, even when providing shared=True or shared=False to a template header only library has no impact hence conan shouldn’t complain and exit when it is the case (or maybe a flag such as ignore-undeclared-option could be used to install package not declaring the option without failure).

Often, for the shared=True/False option, it can often be a global option used for all dependencies, and having the option explicitely defined only for a few specific dependencies when those dependencies don’t match the global option set.
