Hey,

Constructing entities from their serialization in tests has long been discouraged. A few weeks back we removed support for this on the master branch of DataModel. In going though the remaining occurrences, I find myself surprised that some got introduced as little as two weeks ago, and merged in by a member of the Wikidata team.

What to not do:

$item = new Item( array(
    ....
) );

What to do instead (as has been done in most places for quite some time):

$item = Item::newEmpty();
$item->setStuff();

Cheers
