Motivation
We've had issue with the pipeline timing out very frequently for the community tests against Pro.
It seems all test runs timing out had a leftover thread in common, spawned by the
httpserver
fixture.This thread was not spawned as
daemon
, meaning it would prevent the interpreter from shutting down.Changes
Temporary fix: patch the fixture to spawn the thread as daemon, so that even if it's still running, we can force its removal.
