Incorrect duplicate code block in javascript file

I recently added a new module to my monorepo to scan my lambda functions and it is incorrectly citing a duplicate block in one of my files, where there is no duplicate. It is a switch statement with different cases which isn’t used anywhere else in my repo. Is there a way to ‘fix’ this? The weird thing is it says it is duplicated by the same block that it is referring to?

Hey there.

Can you provide a screenshot or code sample?

This is the only code like this in the whole repo.

Hey there.

False positive - duplicated line/block of code

Hey there. SonarCloud ignores string literals when doing duplication detection. Such a file is probably ideal to exclude from duplication detection, which can be done at the file level!
