Research direction
Start with ViewResultBaseAssertions.WithViewData, using the stack trace and the HelpEditorControllerTest.GetByPageName_Should_return_view_for_specified_pageName test as entry points. Reproduce the chained assertions and verify that successive WithViewData calls, including the final null value, complete without a NullReferenceException.
