Using a ManualResourceProvider with constructor injection does not work in Optimizely CMS 12

Hi,

We are using DbLocalizationProvider.EPiServer v 7.2.0 in a CMS 12 site and localization works as it should. However we want to use a ManualResourceProvider but the EPiServer dependencies are not available with constructor injection if we place the code to add the provider in the ConfigureServices method in Startup:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
   services.AddCms()

   services.AddDbLocalizationProvider(ctx =>
                ctx.ManualResourceProvider = new SomeManualResourceProvider());

}

We of cource place the call after AddCms() call but still does not work the dependencies are all null.

The SomeManualResourceProvider class uses ctor injection like this:

public class SomeManualResourceProvider : IManualResourceProvider
{
        private readonly ILanguageBranchRepository _languageBranchRepository;
        private readonly IContentTypeRepository _contentTypeRepository;

        public SomeManualResourceProvider() :
            this(ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ILanguageBranchRepository>(),
             ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>())
        {
        }

        public SomeManualResourceProvider(
            ILanguageBranchRepository languageBranchRepository, 
            IContentTypeRepository contentTypeRepository)
        {
            _languageBranchRepository = languageBranchRepository;
            _contentTypeRepository = contentTypeRepository;
        }
}

I guess it would work if we put the call in an InitializableModule but have not not tried that yet. Still think IoC should work without using InitializableModule.

Maybe the call to add a ManualResourceProvider could move to Configure method and the UseDbLocalizationProvider method?

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
            app.UseDbLocalizationProvider(ctx => ctx.ManualResourceProvider = new SomeManualResourceProvider());
}
