Description

When using an IUrlResolver interface abstraction, making a call to GetUrl(IContentReference) or GetUrl(IContent) results in a NullReferenceException.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Within a class in an episerver project, get an instance of IUrlResolver from the IoC container (constructor injected or via DependencyResolver / ServiceLocator).
  2. Make a call to GetUrl passing in a ContentReference or a IContent instance.
  3. NullReferenceException is thrown.

Workaround:
Replace usage of IUrlResolver with abstract UrlResolver
