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.
