My bad, you’re right. I had changed it following the TESTING instructions. aur_location is clearly the variable to use, but in the current state some people will miss it and the test suite would send requests to production.

Easy enough. We can spawn the server on the first instantiation of the test client fixture. We could add some more detection steps to mark the tests as skipped if spawning fails because of missing dependencies.
