'switch' statement without 'default' branch
Reports switch statements that do not contain default labels.
Adding the default label guarantees that all possible scenarios are covered, and it becomes easier to make assumptions about the current state of the program.
Locating this inspection
- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
SwitchStatementWithoutDefaultBranch- Via Settings dialog
Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.
Note that by default, the inspection does not report switch statements if all cases for enums or sealed classes are covered. Use the Ignore exhaustive switch statements option if you want to change this behavior.
