- [x] Check that your issue is not already filed: https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues
- [x] Reduce the issue to a minimal, self-contained, reproducible test case. Avoid dependencies to Mathlib or Batteries.
- [x] Test your test case against the latest nightly release, for example on https://live.lean-lang.org/#project=lean-nightly (You can also use the settings there to switch to “Lean nightly”)
Description
If you write rcases x and x still has metavariables, this is not reported until the tactic is finished (and no new goals are generated for the metavariables)
Steps to Reproduce
example (p q : Prop) (h : Nat → p ∨ q) : True := by
rcases h _ with h|h
· trivial
-- · trivial
-- if you uncomment the previous line, the expected error "don't know how to synthesize placeholder" is shown
Expected behavior: already display the error in the rcases tactic (or potentially create a new goal for it - maybe if you write ?_ for the metavariable)
Actual behavior: no warning/error (besides "unsolved goals")
Context
This bug also affects cases' (from Mathlib)
