In tutorial it is described as:

If you try changing .snow for .rain, you’ll see Swift complains loudly: once that we’ve checked .rain twice

I check the rainy case twice in switch case and it does not produce any error

enum Weather {
    case rainy
    case snowy
    case sunny
}

let test = Weather.sunny

switch test {
    case .rainy:
        print("hello")
    case .snowy:
        print("hello")
    case .sunny:
        print("hello")
    case .rainy:
        print("hello")
}

Why is that?

I pasted your code into Playgrounds and you're right, it doesn't produce an error. But, for me, it did produce a warning on the second .rainy case.

⚠️ Case is already handled by previous patterns; consider removing it.
