Bug summary

IUmbracoContextFactory in Umbraco is not functioning as expected in Umbraco versions 14.3.0 and 13.x.x. PublishedRequest is null. This issue does not occur in Umbraco version 12.3.10.

Specifics

• Affected versions: Umbraco 13.x.x and Umbraco 14.3.0
• Working version: Umbraco 12.3.10
• Environment: IUmbracoContextFactory to access PublishedRequest in UmbracoPageController.

Steps to reproduce

Install Umbraco 12.3.10 using:

   dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates::12.3.10
   dotnet new umbraco -n MyProject

• Run the application and add a controller similar to TestController (as below) using the UmbracoPageController and the FindContent method.
• Also register the controller (as below) to WithEndpoints, within Startup.cs.
• Run the application and access the /test/{id} URL.
• The test should pass as expected.

Install Umbraco 14.3.0 following the Umbraco documentation.

• Add the same TestController implementation. Add the endpoint in Program.cs
• Run the application and access the /test/{id} URL.
• The test will fail with a null PublishedRequest.

        IUmbracoContextFactory umbracoContextFactory)
        : base(logger, compositeViewEngine)
    {
        _umbracoContextFactory = umbracoContextFactory;
    }

    public IPublishedContent FindContent(ActionExecutingContext actionExecutingContext)
    {
        using (var reference = _umbracoContextFactory.EnsureUmbracoContext())
        {
            if (reference.UmbracoContext.PublishedRequest == null)
                throw new Exception("Test failed");
            else
                throw new Exception("Test passed");
        }
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Index(string id = null)
    {
        throw new Exception("Test passed");
    }
}

u.EndpointRouteBuilder.MapControllerRoute(
   nameof(TestController),
   "/test/{id?}",
   new { Controller = "Test", Action = "Index" });

Expected result / actual result

• PublishedRequest not being null.
