Test mode (aka "dry run")

[stevezau]

We may want to consider a feature where you can run import but in test mode, so no changes. This would be useful for when deploying to production.

It should be fairly easy to add --test param.

This would be very useful in CI!

With respect to the naming: --test is fine, however I think --dry-run would be more clear.

I can't believe that this is not possible.

This is important for safe deployments - we'd like to do a dry-run of a deployment with no side effects, that logged what would be changed, then have a manual step to review before deploying the actual change.

I also want to chip in as we have multiple environments (different tenants) and it happens often that we have a misconfigured .json but only for staging or production, therefore it fails during our deployment step. With a --dry-run option, we could test all of our config before ever hitting our deployment pipeline.

Please make this happen! 🙏

This would be perfect!

--dry-run would be extremely helpful when moving from "unmanaged/by-hand configuration" to auth0-deploy-cli.

I can't wait for --dry-run!!!!
