{{else}} block changes the context but {{#if}} does not

[raoulmillais]

When using an {{#if}} ... {{else}} ... {{/if}} block the else block makes the context one level deeper whereas the if block does not. I have encountered this inside an each, but I'm not sure whether it is also a problem at the top level. My preference is that neither deepens the context, but either way it would be better if they were consistent.

E.g.

Given this context:

var ctx = {
  items: [{
    someValue: true, // or false
  }],
  successMessage: 'It works',
  failureMessage: 'It fails'
};

I must use this handlebars markup to render the failure message:

{{#each items}}
  {{#if someValue}}
    <h1>{{../successMessage}}</h1>
  {{else}}
  {{! need to go up another level to get to the root }}
    <h1>{{../../failureMessage}}</h1>
  {{/if}
{{/each}}

Hmmm, updating express3-handlebars has fixed the problem. Maybe it was an issue in an older version. I'll close this.
