Sometimes one needs to determine if particular catalog node code is used in previous versions of Commerce we used to call following method to verify, if it does exist, if not - null was returned.

var node = CatalogContext.Current.GetCatalogNode(code, new CatalogNodeResponseGroup(CatalogNodeResponseGroup.ResponseGroup.CatalogNodeInfo));

However now in Commerce 7.5(7.6.1), if it does not exist(value is null), it tries to cache it anyway and fails with following exception:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value
   at System.Web.Caching.CacheEntry..ctor(String key, Object value, CacheDependency dependency, CacheItemRemovedCallback onRemovedHandler, DateTime utcAbsoluteExpiration, TimeSpan slidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority priority, Boolean isPublic)
   at System.Web.Caching.CacheInternal.DoInsert(Boolean isPublic, String key, Object value, CacheDependency dependencies, DateTime utcAbsoluteExpiration, TimeSpan slidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority priority, CacheItemRemovedCallback onRemoveCallback, Boolean replace)
   at System.Web.Caching.Cache.Insert(String key, Object value, CacheDependency dependencies, DateTime absoluteExpiration, TimeSpan slidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority priority, CacheItemRemovedCallback onRemoveCallback)
   at Mediachase.Commerce.Engine.Caching.MasterKeyCache.Insert(String key, Object value, TimeSpan duration, CacheDependency dependency, CacheItemPriority priority, CacheItemRemovedCallback callback)
   at Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog.Managers.CatalogNodeManager.ExecuteThroughCache[T](Boolean useCache, String cacheKey, TimeSpan timeout, Func`1 load)
   at Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog.Managers.CatalogNodeManager.GetCatalogNode(String code, CatalogNodeResponseGroup responseGroup)
...

    

How then I'm supposed to check for existence by catching exception if I already know catalog node code?
Also this method is not marked as deprecated so it should work as expected and not throw exception.
