Thank you!!!! First time i’ve come across the VerifyError and it had me very confused! Turned out I was missing that break statement after the nested for-switch-if. Crazy.

You saved me 15 minutes or more by switching my breaks.

Thanks a ton for posting this. This bug was killing me!

I thought switch statements could “cascade” down to other cases if you didn’t have a break in them, but apparently not how I was doing it..

Apparently you get this error for the following as well:

switch (’s’) {
case ’s’:
if (null)
{
break;
}
}
