I have been struggling to figure out how to run the
parser tests. From the very limited documentation in the
code, it appears you are supposed to run them from a
terminal. However, when I cd to the maintenance directory
and type "php parserTests.php" I get the following error
message.
...
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION'
or `T_FUNCTION' or `T_VAR' or `'}'' in
/Users/dnessett/Sites/Mediawiki/maintenance/parserTests.inc
on line 43
...
Either there is some setup necessary that I haven't
done; parserTests.php is not the appropriate "top-level"
target for the execution; you are not supposed to run these
tests from the terminal; or there is something else I am
doing wrong.
You're running them correctly.  It sounds like your
installation is
broken.  Please say exactly what version of MediaWiki
you're using
(from Special:Version), and make sure that parserTests.inc
was
correctly copied from the download.  Paste line 43 and
the surrounding
lines here.
MediaWiki	1.14.0
PHP	5.2.6 (apache2handler)
MySQL	5.0.41
I am running this on my Macintosh using MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html). parserTests.inc looks OK to me (but I don't know what to look for). Lines 28-48 are:
=====
$options = array( 'quick', 'color', 'quiet', 'help', 'show-output', 'record' );
$optionsWithArgs = array( 'regex', 'seed' );
require_once( 'commandLine.inc' );
require_once( "$IP/maintenance/parserTestsParserHook.php" );
require_once( "$IP/maintenance/parserTestsStaticParserHook.php" );
require_once( "$IP/maintenance/parserTestsParserTime.php" );
/**
 * @ingroup Maintenance
 */
class ParserTest {
    /**
     * boolean $color whereas output should be colorized
     */
    private $color;
/**
     * boolean $showOutput Show test output
     */
    private $showOutput;
=====
