That ConvertPhysicalNameToURL apparently internally calls 
comphelper::getProcessServiceFactory to obtain the process service 
factory; what recently changed with 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=2a32bf29b98403872235f880e91b1c08cd3d7f68> 
"Make getProcessComponentContext/ServiceFactory throw instead of 
returning null" is that it throws now when the factory is unset (which 
it should never be).

The way CppUnit tests should get the factory set is via the 
unobootstrapprotector that is enabled with gb_CppunitTest_use_ure (cf. 
solenv/gbuild/CppunitTest.mk).  What is unclear to me is whether that 
also requires that your test fixture is derived from 
test::BootstrapFixtureBase (unotest/bootstrapfixturebase.hxx) or whether 
CppUnit::TestFixture suffices.
