Automapper fails to initialize in asp.net core Integration Testing project

I am getting null reference exception while doing integration testing in aspnetcore project. The project is aspnetcore webapi project that uses full .net framework. The automapper initialization works for the actual webapi project but it fails for integration testing class library project during the dependency injection process.

Exception:

services.AddAutoMapper()

Exception Stacktrace:

System.ArgumentNullException occurred
  HResult=0x80004003
  Message=Value cannot be null.

I had a similar problem, it was solved by specifying the assembly 

var assembly = typeof(Program).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
services.AddAutoMapper(assembly);

which I got from, Integration Testing with AutoMapper fails to initialise configuration
