Hey , i have created json and i am trying to adapt resource to my sling model class. I have created the json correctly using .json on the browser with all fields of component dialog populated , however when i give resource path till the component my adapted sling model returns null . If i update the resource path to anything inside the component in json , i get an adapted sling model with null values for the fields inside (which is expected since the path is wrong).

My issue here is why is not adapting when i give correct path till the component in json . Is there something that i might be missing?

Hi,

The reason this is failing is that the "resource" (loaded through your JSON) does not meet all the requirements expected by your Sling model. You should check the following aspects of your Sling model:

Is it adaptable from a Resource or SlingServlet? How you are getting your slingModel in your test?
Is it tied to a resourceType?
Does it have all the required fields?
Does it depend on other OSGi services or objects that may not be available?
Etc.

A good way to figure out what is going on is to use the SlingModelFactory to create the Sling model instead of adapting it from the resource. This approach will provide a more informative error message about what failed during the model creation. Something like this:

MyModel model = context.getService(ModelFactory.class).createModel(request, MyModel.class);

Hope this helps.

@zendarkke : Can you please share the code snippet of how you are resolving the resource. Also, if possible the resource json.

Hi @zendarkke
Please check example here : https://github.com/arunpatidar02/com.aemlab.junitapp/blob/master/core/src/test/java/com/aemlab/junit/core/models/DownloadTest.java

There are other sling models as well, you can check those as well : https://github.com/arunpatidar02/com.aemlab.junitapp/tree/master/core/src/test

You can debug your Junit to see why the Sling Model has not been adopted. Check if there is any logic inside the @Postconstruct method of your Sling Model.

There is logic within the post construct actually, so what do i have to do in this regard? The post construct method is retrieving a list of of child items present in dialog multifield and assigning to an array
