parserTests.php always assumes $wgDBprefix is 'parsertest_'. Without making a change in parserTests.inc line 540 ('wgDBprefix' => 'parsertest_') this would never run succesfully and exit with something like "Error: 1146 Table 'mediawiki.parsertest_objectcache' doesn't exist (localhost)".
I suggest that a commandline option is added to change the used database prefix, with a special case for when no prefix is used.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
The prefix for the test database *is* 'parsertest_'; this is correct.
I assume you're referring to the problem where the objectcache is pulling things incorrectly when not fully set up?
There is little to no documentation I could find on running parser tests. Do I assume correctly that you mean that a database prefix of 'parsertest_' is *required* for properly running parser tests?
I think this is a duplicate of bug 15892, and should be fixed (though inelegantly) by r44003.
