Test Coverage

Complete cases by adding the missing enum constants or add a default case to this switch.
Open

    switch (this) {
Severity: Critical
Found in java/gust/backend/model/PersistenceFailure.java by sonar-java

The requirement for a final default clause is defensive programming. The clause should either take appropriate action, or contain a suitable comment as to why no action is taken.

Noncompliant Code Example

switch (param) {  //missing default clause
  case 0:
    doSomething();
    break;
  case 1:
    doSomethingElse();
    break;
}

switch (param) {
  default: // default clause should be the last one
    error();
    break;
  case 0:
    doSomething();
    break;
  case 1:
    doSomethingElse();
    break;
}

Compliant Solution

switch (param) {
  case 0:
    doSomething();
    break;
  case 1:
    doSomethingElse();
    break;
  default:
    error();
    break;
}

Exceptions

If the switch parameter is an Enum and if all the constants of this enum are used in the case statements, then no default clause is expected.

Example:

public enum Day {
    SUNDAY, MONDAY
}
...
switch(day) {
  case SUNDAY:
    doSomething();
    break;
  case MONDAY:
    doSomethingElse();
    break;
}
