Flag on CLI airflow tasks test to attach debugger

[GuillaumeDesforges]

Description

Any way to allow to attach a debugger when using airflow tasks test

Use case / motivation

Following discussion:

I generate DAGs dynamically using a database.
I want to debug tasks.

The doc (Debug Executor) suggests to add

if __name__ == '__main__':
  from airflow.utils.state import State
  dag.clear(dag_run_state=State.NONE)
  dag.run()

and run from IDE.

The above code snippet is something I'd rather avoid:

• it is hard to select the right dag and tasks when they are generated automatically
• it's a code artifact I'd rather avoid having, because everytime I test another dag, task or execution time, it creates git diffs

Are you willing to submit a PR?

Are you aware of the the dag.cli() function? That might help you

You seem to be referring to this?

In order to use this command, I need to hard-write in my code which DAG to use, when my script generates a lot of them. I do not want to write which dag should be tested to the git history, when it changes frequently.
