"each" and custom helper with "else" -- #is ../ #else is ../../?

[jsm174]

Sorry if the title is confusing, but I'm seeing strange behavior when trying to compare a value using a custom helper in an "else" wrapped in an "each":

Given the following:

JSON:

{
   "list": {
      "style": "unordered",
      "items": [
         "value1",
         "value2",
         "value3"
      ]
   }
}

PARTIAL:

<script id="partial-text-list" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
   {{#each items}}
      {{#is ../style "ordered"}}
         {{inc @index}} {{this}}
      {{else is ../style "unordered"}}
         - {{this}}
      {{/is}}
   {{/each}}
</script>

HELPER:

Handlebars.registerHelper({
   is: function(value, test, options) {
      if (value === test) {
         return options.fn(this);
      }
      else {
         return options.inverse(this);
      }
    }
});

ISSUE:

The correct value of "style" is passed to the first "is" helper call, but not to the "else is" helper call.

If I change the partial to:

{{#is ../style "ordered"}}
   {{inc @index}} {{this}}
{{else is ../../style "unordered"}}
   - {{this}}
{{/is}}

the correct value of style is passed to the "else is".

Is this expected behavior, and if so why, because I'm not following "../../"?

@jsm174 {{else is}} wont work. you might be able to do something like
{{else if (is ../style "unordered")}} if you can figure out the logic allow your block helper to support also being a helper.

Here's an example gist of a helper I made

I know this issue is quite old but I just updated our application from v4.0.5 to v4.0.10 and it is now working as expected.

I downloaded the closest build to v4.0.6 at: http://builds.handlebarsjs.com.s3.amazonaws.com/handlebars-714a4c4.js

(For some reason I couldn't find a v4.0.6 or v4.0.7 files)

Anyway, that version worked, so I'm guessing this issue was fixed as a result of: #1135
