Stefan Seifert commented on SLING-7978:
---------------------------------------

it's just one code line away:
{code:java}
MyModel model = 
context.getService(ModelFactory.class).createModel(context.resourceResolver().getResource("/page1"),
 MyModel.class)
{code}

not sure if it's worth adding a convenience method to the context object itself 
for this.
(and it's definitely not a bug ...)

> Sling Mocks: Allow easy access to the ModelFactory

>                 Key: SLING-7978
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7978
>             Project: Sling
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Testing
>    Affects Versions: Testing Sling Mock 2.3.4
>            Reporter: Konrad Windszus
>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently you would instantiate a Sling Model in a unit test leveraging Sling 
> Mocks via
> {code}
> @Rule
>   public SlingContext context = new 
> SlingContext(ResourceResolverType.RESOURCERESOLVER_MOCK);
>  @Test
>   public void testModel() {
>     context.load()
>            .json(<some json resource from the classpath>, "/page1");
>     context.addModelsForClasses(MyModel.class);
>     MyModel model = 
> context.resourceResolver().getResource("/page1").adaptTo(MyModel.class)
>   // model is now null for some reason, hard to debug why
> {code}
> In case for some reason the model cannot be instantiated it is hard to debug 
> why (because by default the reason is only emitted in the log with level 
> DEBUG). To ease debugging it would be nice if {{ModelFactory}} (SLING-3709) 
> could be used, as that throws an explicit exception in case of instantiation 
> errrors. It would be nice to give direct access to that service directly from 
> the {{SlingContext}}.
