Switch statement

[mastazi]

In a php switch statement, the lines immediately following a : are supposed to be indented (in this case, the line starting with print and break should be indented with respect to the line with the case statement):

<?php
$myvar = 2
switch($myvar){
  case 1:
    print 'One';
    break;
}

but instead, in Atom, they are not indented:

<?php
$myvar = 2
switch($myvar){
  case 1:
  print 'One';
  break;
}

The same issue happens when pasting code (within a case block) from an external source.

Reproduced in safe mode with updated Atom and searched for existing issues as follows:

This is a (better written) duplicate of #30.

Any Update on this issue ?

+1 for wanting this.

My workaround: use {} around the contents of the case:

switch ($foo) {
	case 'yes': {
		print 'yes';
		break;
	}
	case 'no': {
		print 'no';
		break;
	}
}

Extra lines, but readable…

Just to confirm this as triaged, I've reproduced on Atom v1.40.0-nightly1.

Adding some information from #294:

If the case is a string that contains if indentation is counted as if there was an if statement on that line, leading to it breaking in other manners.
