Manager Class can't find provider
Hello, i'm trying to create a custom module (a product category module) based on product custom module. so far it's work fine until i'm tried to add new item (category) it give me an error in manager class in Copy(source, destination) said "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." please see the attached file.
anyone can point some clue where to check this?
thank you.
Hello Augus,
Can you tell us which object is null? The Provider or ?
All the best,

ahh sorry Ivan, yes the provider is null.
correction, when i'm debugging again, the provider looks like it's not null. because i can hover and see the snippet containing p[ermission properties and so on. here's the stack trace.

I am not able to replicate the issue with the default setup of the Products module. You have changes something, but it is not clear to me what. If the problem persists, please open a support request and provide us with the module you created.

Thank you Ivan. unfortunately i can;t replicate it either when i install my module in a new fresh site. it's now causing another issue. but this can be postpone until 4.1 SDK is out (and hopefully with some working sample). once again thank you Ivan :)
