should rewrite switch statement to if statement
126 if err != nil {
127 return err
128 }
129 switch mode := fi.Mode(); {130 case mode.IsRegular():
131 return errors.New(i.Path + " not a folder")
132 }
Description
switch statements with a single case can be rewritten as if-else or if.
Single case switch can be replaced by if-else as it appears to be more
readable. This does not apply to type switch.
Bad practice
switch ok {
case true:
// body
}
Recommended
if ok {
// body
}
