I'm not sure what that has to do with anything I wrote?

I mean I said nothing about integrating your instance of the rails port 
with your instance of nominatim, mostly because I had no idea whether or 
not it was configurable!

Sure it's a bug - fixes welcome.

Well a test shouldn't be touching a live server at all. and indeed it 
doesn't because that file is actual controlling the mock server that is 
used in testing - it lists the URLs and the responses that will be faked 
when those URLs are hit.

So the test environment will always need to use NOMINATIM_URL pointing 
at the real server as that is the URL that the mocks respond to.

Again, bugs, though probably a bit harder to fix.
