Unterminated non-empty case block

This warning category is spelled [unterminated-case] by qmllint.

Unterminated non-empty case block

What happened?

A case block in a switch statement was non-empty but was not terminated by a break, return, or throw statement. There was also no opt-in fallthrough comment.

Why is that bad?

Fallthrough logic in switch statements can be confusing or overlooked. If it is intentional, it should be marked explicitly with a comment such as "// fallthrough". If it isn't intentional, the warning indicates that a terminating statement was forgotten.

范例

switch (state) {
case Main.State.Reset:
    clearState()                    // <--- "Unterminated non-empty case block"
case Main.State.Invalid:
    asyncInitState()
    return false
case Main.State.Initializing:
    // wait for initialization to complete
    return false
case Main.State.Ready:
    res = lookup(query)
    log(res.stats)
    saveToDisk(res.data)            // <--- "Unterminated non-empty case block"
default:
    throw new InvalidStateException("Unknown state")
}
					

To fix this warning, add missing terminating statements or add explicit opt-in comments allowing fallthrough logic:

switch (state) {
case Main.State.Reset:
    clearState()
    // fallthrough                   // <--- add fallthrough comment
case Main.State.Invalid:
    asyncInitState()
    return false
case Main.State.Initializing:
    // wait for initialization to complete
    return false
case Main.State.Ready:
    res = lookup(query)
    log(res.stats)
    saveToDisk(res.data)
    return true                     // <--- add forgotten terminating statement
default:
    throw new InvalidStateException("Unknown state")
}
