Changelog: Feature: Add config variable
general.error_on_override
and environment variableCONAN_ERROR_ON_OVERRIDE
(defaulting toFalse
) to configure if an overridden requirement should raise an error when overridden from downstream consumers.Docs: conan-io/docs#1128
closes #4473
closes #2800
If a consumer wants to depend on a package (
self.requires("package")
) and declare ALSO that it is overriding a dependency (self.requires("package", override=True)
) to avoid the error on override exception (implemented here), Conan will raise aDuplicated requirement error
. That use case is not handled in this PR. <- Issue opened: #4779
