        Why is this an issue?

        More Info

        The requirement for a final when else 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 on i { // missing 'when else'
          when 2 {
            System.debug('when block 2');
          }
          when -3 {
            System.debug('when block -3');
          }
        }
        

        Compliant solution

        switch on i {
          when 2 {
            System.debug('when block 2');
          }
          when -3 {
            System.debug('when block -3');
          }
          when else {
            System.debug('default');
          }
        }
