Hi @hiteshbaliyan and thanks for reporting. I'll take look in the coming days.

Hi, sorry about the long delay. It looks like new parser bootstrap tool was broken and removed some time ago since it was hardly ever used. I'll file a ticket to update the docs. Thanks for your patience.

Old PR removing it:
