Error processing robots.txt

Question

I occasionally see the below error in my logs

Error processing robots.txt
Exception: Glass.Mapper.MapperExceptioMessage: Service has been disposed, cannot create object

My code in Robotservice is as below

        #region Injected
        //DI Implementation
        private readonly IMvcContext _mvcContext;

        public RobotsService(IMvcContext mvcContext)
        {
            _mvcContext = mvcContext; 
        }

        #endregion

        public string GetRobotsForItem()
        {
            var homeItem = _mvcContext.GetHomeItem<ISitecoreItem>();
            ...
            ...
           return <some text>;
        }

While debugging, I see that the data source is null for _mvcContext and hence Glass is complaining about this. When I searched(blogs, pages, etc) for this error, I see that DI should be implemented and is the solution for this error. But I already have DI Implemented and working in almost all scenarios. Any thoughts or ideas on this?

Thanks in Advance!

Yes, you will need to resolve your dependencies explicitly as shown below:

    public string GetRobotsForItem()
    {
        var mvcContext = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<IMvcContext >();
        var homeItem = mvcContext.GetHomeItem<ISitecoreItem>();
        ...
        ...
       return <some text>;
    }

Hope this helps

If you getting same issue, you need to share how you are invoking this service please?
