Poetry doesn't install extra dependencies when the extra is capitalised

• [x] I am on the latest Poetry version.

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

• [x] If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• Arch Linux x86_64 and python 3.7.9:

• Poetry version 1.2.0:

Issue

We have a sub-project which defines extras with a capital like so:

[tool.poetry]
name="foo"
version="1.0.0"

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
XlsxWriter = { version = "^1.2.8", optional = true }

[tool.poetry.extras]
XlsxWriter = ["XlsxWriter"]

When attempting to install this sub-project as a dependency as follows:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
foo = {extras = ["XlsxWriter"], version="1.0.0"}

The optional dependency (XlsxWriter here) is not installed at all.

If the dependency's extra name is updated to be in low-case only like so:

[tool.poetry.extras]
xlsxwriter = ["XlsxWriter"]

And the dependent's definition is updated to match:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
foo = {extras = ["xlsxwriter"], version="1.0.0"}

Then the optional dependency now gets installed by poetry 1.2

I guess poetry sometimes normalizes extra names and sometimes doesn't.

Hard to get too excited - just use lowercase extras - but if anyone cares to investigate further then the use of safe_extra() looks like the right thread to tug on.

Happened in our project as well. We have dependency defined like this:pyqrcode = {version = "^1.2", extras = ["PNG"]} and it didn't install the extras. This worked fine on 1.1.15

I see that this behaviour was introduced by the pull request 4122 in June this year (poetry 1.2.0b3). That PR addressses the issue 4123 where Poetry's behaviour with regards to extras differed from Pip.

I can't say whether the different behaviour observed in 1.2 is in fact correct and the previous behaviour was that I was exploiting a bug. It would make sense to me that safe_extras() also be used to normalise the names of extras specified in the existing pyproject.toml.

[dimbleby]

PEP685 is accepted and declares that:

When comparing extra names, tools MUST normalize the names being compared using the semantics outlined in PEP 503 for names:

so safe_extra() should be removed, canonicalize_name() should be used instead, and indeed the names of extras should be normalized both on the what-is-requested and on the what-is-provided side.
