   We [use this argument](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/ad7f6ef3a97be6a3eb6fe37d0df1b1634db057d2/js/gulp/test-task.js#L118-L126) to generate the JSON files for debugging the integration tests in isolation. My Union PR updated the logic to just [call the function](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/37122/files#diff-c79bbf8ddeec028e14acfc7b1ebbf5378d5e2cb14e8d93e4d898fb421cbd243aR124-R125) directly (and updated the function to generate the current set of files).
   
   It would be great if there was a way to generate these files without needing any of the Python dependencies installed or importing subsets of the integration logic. The only realistic way to debug a failure in the integration suite is to generate the JSON/C++/Java files and run the JS integration test binaries in the debugger. It is prohibitively clunky to connect a debugger to a node process launched by a Python process inside a docker container running the full integration suite.
