## Preface
Testers using the https://aur-dev.archlinux.org instance should
read the following sections:
- [Toggling Between FastAPI and PHP](#toggling-between-fastapi-and-php)
- [Data](#data)
- [Accounts](#accounts)
## Toggling Between FastAPI and PHP
https://aur-dev.archlinux.org provides a method of toggling between
the two implementations using the `version` cookie.
To toggle between FastAPI and PHP, users should utilize
https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/version, which contains an explanation of
using the `?version={choice}` query string parameter, where
`{choice}` is one of `fastapi` or `php`.
TL;DR: To switch to one of the following choices, browse to its endpoint:
| Choice | Endpoint |
|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `fastapi` | https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/version?version=fastapi |
| `php` | https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/version?version=php |
To check which choice you're currently on, visit
https://aur-dev.archlinux.org/version, which displays your current choice.
## Data
The majority of data that can be found on the aur-dev instance is
generated dummy data, with the exception of any tester-driven packages.
## Accounts
#### Dummy Users
Each dummy user (the majority of users) on the instance use the
same username and password. This is not the case if an account
request was accepted or a dummy user has had their password
modified by another tester.
#### Registration
Standard account registration cannot occur on aur-dev, due to the fact
that notifications are disabled and users do not have access to its
database.
However, if you do want your own account name or specific account type,
you can request an account in two ways:
- By filing an [Account Request](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb/-/issues/new?issuable_template=Account%20Request) issue
- Title: `[Account Request] the_name_you_want`
- By sending an email to aur-dev@lists.archlinux.org
- Subject: `[Account Request] the_name_you_want`
- Content should use the [Account Request template](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb/-/tree/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/Account%20Request.md)
Upon receiving such a request, we will then register the account, receive
the needed reset key, and send an email to that which is specified in the
`Email` field of the request containing your reset key and a link to
`/passreset?resetkey={your_reset_key}`.
Using this link, you can then configure your own password for the account.
