+Subject: [PATCH] Fix test setup for directive tests.
+
+Set the "parent" attribute of RSTState instances to the `document`
+instead of None.  The attribute holds the state machines "current node"
+which is initialized to the `document` in `RSTStateMachine.run()` and
+required since Docutils 0.22.1 in `RSTState.nested_parse()` to correctly
+support sections in nested parsing.
