JUnit 4: AEM How to Mock @RequestAttribute value in Sling Model

This blog article will show code an example for JUnit 4, for how the Request Attribute is being mocked. This example will only cover mocking the @RequestAttribute with the use of @PostConstruct runtime phase, When you are in the code runtime phase of the constructor injection, this will not work (I spent a bit of time on this).

Attention
This article will not cover how to setup JUnit 4 for AEM, but however, more information can be found on this blog article.
