I am trying to use a switch statement with constants but it doesn't appear that the switch statement can see the constants.



At the top of the class I have:
private final String A_B_C = 'a b c';



Then later in the class I am attempting:



switch on OpportunityTriggerHelper.recordTypes.get(opp.RecordTypeId).getDeveloperName() 
when A_B_C
// do something




What I get is variable doesn't exist A_B_C.



I know for a fact that that variable is visible because there's no problem using it in an if statement.



Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrectly?

          The when clause can accept the following three types of values



          A) when literal (a when block can have multiple, comma-separated literal clauses)



          B) when SObjectType identifier



          C) When enum_value



          Anything apat from this will give a compiletime error.



          In your case,



          private final String A_B_C = 'a b c'; is a variable and not a literal and hence it gives you an error.
