Description

TypeScript Version: 3.2.0-dev.20181106

Code

enum E { A, B, C }
function f(x: E) {
    switch (x) {
        case E.A: return "a";
        case E.C: return "c";
    }
}

Expected behavior:

Suggestion on x recommending to add a case case E.B:, and a codefix which does that (perhaps by adding case E.B: throw new Error("todo");).

Actual behavior:

No suggestion.

Research direction

Start with the TypeScript enum and switch reproduction in the issue and trace how suggestions and codefixes are implemented for switch statements. Add the missing-enum-case suggestion and corresponding codefix, then verify the reported example through the compiler's existing test setup; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
