Replacing under cabinet light with recessed lighting.
I removed some cabinets with built-in lighting and I want to install one recessed light in the ceiling where the cabinets were. This light was the only thing on the circuit. My question is do I need a junction box in the attic if my Romex (from the light switch to the recessed fixture) is long enough to make it to the recessed lights built in junction box?

As long as the wire can go unbroken from the switch to the box for the light you are good. There can be no hidden splices or junction boxes along the way however.

If the ceiling is drywalled and/or insulated it would be considered finished, and therefore you would not have to staple the cables. The cable would be considered fished at that point, even if there is access to the attic.
