@py4762013 & @peterjaap - Could you consider submitting a PR rather than forking an entirely new repo? It would help everyone contribute to a single source and keep things much easier to manage for the community :)

TL;DR; - There is a simple fix all the way at the bottom that will alleviate this error.

Tracking down the source of the issue - We are running into a problem on the getAreaCode() method inside execute().

  [Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException]
  Area code is not set


Exception trace:
 () at /home/vagrant/public_html/vendor/magento/framework/App/State.php:152
 Magento\Framework\App\State->getAreaCode() at /home/vagrant/public_html/app/code/Iazel/RegenProductUrl/Console/Command/RegenerateProductUrlCommand.php:71

Magento will throw an exception if the area code isn't set:
In \Magento\Framework\App\State.php:

public function getAreaCode()
{
    if (!isset($this->_areaCode)) {
        throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException(
            new \Magento\Framework\Phrase('Area code is not set')
        );
    }
    return $this->_areaCode;
}

Which makes the if (! $this->state->getAreaCode()) { conditional worthless here.

The values for area codes are set in Magento\Framework\App\Area.

const AREA_GLOBAL = 'global';
const AREA_FRONTEND = 'frontend';
const AREA_ADMINHTML = 'adminhtml';
const AREA_DOC = 'doc';
const AREA_CRONTAB = 'crontab';
const AREA_WEBAPI_REST = 'webapi_rest';
const AREA_WEBAPI_SOAP = 'webapi_soap';

/**
 * @deprecated
 */
const AREA_ADMIN    = 'admin';

I personally think that the best solution would be to allow for a CLI option to set which area code you'd like to use. I would assume the best 3 would AREA_GLOBAL, AREA_FRONTEND & AREA_ADMINHTML.

TL;DR;

For a quick fix, I replaced the conditional check for getAreaCode() within the exceute() function in RegenerageProductUrlCommand.php.
Replace:

 if (!$this->state->getAreaCode()) {
     $this->state->setAreaCode('admin');
 }

With:

 $this->state->setAreaCode(\Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_GLOBAL);

And the command proceeded to work without throwing an exception.

With all that being said, my URL's still did not regenerate correctly :)

@dambrogia I would consider it but this repo seems abandoned (10 outstanding pull requests and no sign from the repo owner for months). So it seems like a waste of time. Use my fork instead, that one works.
