Application.Current will be null in your case. It returns application object for the current AppDomain which gets set only when application is run.

Test cases are to test business logic i.e. to test ViewModel layer. Code which you want to test should not contain any reference to UI component.

More details can be found here - Application.Current is null in unit test cases. Workaround is provided in the link but I strongly discourage the use of Application.Current in your testcases or usage of it in ViewModel layer which needs to be unit tested.
