Upgrade from CMS 7.19.2 to 8.11

I have this problem in initialisation of an ContentProvider

CODE in Constructor: myForestCategory = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance().Get("MYCATEGORY");

It is the Get function not working. Why? "MYCATEGORY" exists as a Category

If you execute the same code later somewhere (let's say in page's controller action).. Do you see the same error?

This is probably a bug after breaking changes in CMS 8. http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Upgrading/EPiServer-CMS/8/Breaking-changes/changes-to-the-category-api/

ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<CategoryRepository>().Get(6916); //Works

if I iterate ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<CategoryRepository>().GetRoot().FindChild("MYCATEGORY");// Throws error

if I iterate ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<CategoryRepository>().GetRoot().Categories i find my category

ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<CategoryRepository>().Get(AnyCategoriInTop) //works

We have totaly 396 Categories.

Bug Episerver?

I got this from Episerver Support:

The problem occurred because you have duplicate category names under the same node. Please remove them (either in the Admin mode, or directly from the table tblContent in the database). You can check the duplicated category names with this SQL command:

SELECT
CategoryName, fkParentId, COUNT(CategoryName)
FROM
[dbHolmen_v8].[dbo].[tblCategory]
GROUP BY
CategoryName, fkParentId
HAVING 
COUNT(CategoryName) > 1
