Hi all I'm using the below code in Umbraco 13 custom class public IPublishedContent GetProductById(int id) { var accessor = StaticServiceProvider.Instance.GetRequiredService(); if (accessor.TryGetUmbracoHelper(out var umbracoHelper)) { return umbracoHelper.Content(id); } return null; } This returns the error InvalidOperationException wasn't able to get an UmbracoContext. When searching on this error, most lead me to Umbraco 9 bugs so wondering if I'm missing something?

Hi there! You should not need to rely on the

StaticServiceProvider

class and I would highly recommend against using it. The

UmbracoHelper

can only be fetched in a thread that is handling a request for an Umbraco content page. Outside that, you don't have the umbraco helper available.

Hi if I have a few controllers using the above method from my custom class then there is no way to reuse it? I have to inject it into ALL the controllers?

injecting IS reusing. You register your class once inside dependency injection and your constructors automatically receive your class

A little confused.... I have my custom class registered. Everything works until I call the method above. There are other methods in the class too which work but it's only when using the UmbracoHelper that I receive an error

Are you still using

StaticServiceProvider

in your class? If so, you should instead add

IUmbracoHelperAccessor

in the constructor of your class and rely on that instead.

Thanks that did the trick!
