clippy::match_str_case_mismatch: Checks for match expressions modifying the case of a string with non-compliant arms

What it meansChecks for match expressions modifying the case of a string with non-compliant arms It is in the correctness group and denied by default (the build fails).

Does it matter?

The arm is unreachable, which is likely a mistake

Code that is almost certainly wrong. Denied by default: the build fails until you fix it or allow it.

How to fix it

Clippy can fix this one for you: run cargo clippy --fix (add --allow-dirty if you have uncommitted changes). Review the diff before you commit.

Flagged

match &*text.to_ascii_lowercase() {
    "foo" => {},
    "Bar" => {},
    _ => {},
}

Write this instead

match &*text.to_ascii_lowercase() {
    "foo" => {},
    "bar" => {},
    _ => {},
}

Turn it off, or on

Allow it where it does not fit your code, as narrowly as you can:

On one item

#[allow(clippy::match_str_case_mismatch)]
fn my_function() { /* ... */ }

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
match_str_case_mismatch = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::match-str-case-mismatch

The [lints] table needs Rust 1.74 or newer. In a workspace, put it under [workspace.lints.clippy] and add [lints] workspace = true to each member.

What it does

Checks for match expressions modifying the case of a string with non-compliant arms

Why is this bad?

The arm is unreachable, which is likely a mistake

Example

match &*text.to_ascii_lowercase() {
    "foo" => {},
    "Bar" => {},
    _ => {},
}

Use instead:

match &*text.to_ascii_lowercase() {
    "foo" => {},
    "bar" => {},
    _ => {},
}
