Example Code

import typer
from services import example_handler_func

@cli.command()
def test_command(
    example_arg1: Optional[str] = typer.Option(
        "this is a default string", "--example-arg1", "-E1", help="example argument #1"
    ),
    example_arg2: Optional[str] = typer.Option(
        "this is a default string", "--example-arg2", "-E2", help="example argument #2"
    ),
):
    example_handler_func(example_arg1, example_arg2)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_command()

Description

The problem with the above code is that the when running it this way, as one may do for debugging purposes, the default arguments are not evaluated to their raw value, but instead are instances of the typer.Option object which will break any logic within the command function that expects a string.

I understand one alternative is to use typer.run(test_command) however with this option, you are unable to provide any arguments.

So my question is really what are the best practices for running commands within the debugger in which both default arguments work, and I am able to pass in arguments as well
