Installing a specific target doesn't install it's dependencies

[01Pollux]

Xmake Version

xmake v2.9.6+HEAD.abd15c255

Operating System Version and Architecture

Windows 11 23H2

Describe Bug

Installing a target with xmake install -o install <target> doesn't install the dependencies related to <target>.

Expected Behavior

Installing the target should implicitly install all dependencies down the tree.

Project Configuration

set_languages("cxxlatest")

add_rules("mode.debug")

target("library")
    set_kind("shared")
    add_files("*.cpp")
    on_install(function(target)
        print("installing library")
    end)
target_end()

target("console_app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("*.cpp")
    add_deps("library")
    on_install(function(target)
        print("installing console_app")
    end)
target_end()

     on_install(function(target)
        print("installing console_app")
    end)

because you rewrited on_install

The issue persists despite removing on_install for console_app

The issue persists despite removing on_install for console_app

it works for me.

set_languages("cxxlatest")

add_rules("mode.debug")

target("library")
    set_kind("shared")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    on_install(function(target)
        print("installing library")
    end)
target_end()

target("console_app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_deps("library")

ruki-2:test ruki$ xmake install -o /tmp/test1
installing library <-------------------------------
installing console_app ..
installing console_app to /tmp/test1 ..
install ok!

But using xmake install -o ... installs all targets, can't we build and install only one target and its dependencies?

set_languages("cxxlatest")

add_rules("mode.debug")

target("library")
    set_kind("static")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    on_install(function(target)
        print("installing library")
    end)
target_end()

target("console_app1")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_deps("library")
target_end()

target("console_app2")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_deps("library")
target_end()

To run xmake install -o /tmp/test1, one must build everything at first.
My suggestion was to only build and install console_app1 and its dependencies (library)

[waruqi]

it will install console_app1 and its dep libraries, but it will not call library's on_install.

ruki-2:test ruki$ xmake install -o /tmp/foo console_app
installing console_app ..
installing console_app to /tmp/foo ..
install ok!
ruki-2:test ruki$ tree /tmp/foo
/tmp/foo
├── bin
│   └── console_app
└── lib
    └── liblibrary.dylib

Shouldn't it call it? it's possible that library's on_install installs/copies assets for example
