Blocks must be non-empty about handlebars.js

[nalanj]

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm not sure that I understand what's happening. Can you gist a test example that reproduces what you're experiencing?

Apologies for the crap issue report... it was a long day :-/

The issue is a bit of an edge-case, but here's a unit test of the issue.

Thanks for sending that. It's awesome just to have a working test that I can work with. No worries about the issue report - I had a pretty rough day yesterday too.

I saw your note about it ideally noop-ing, and I almost wrote it that way, but then realized that if I did that a block helper wouldn't be able to be called if {{#goodbyes}} were actually a block helper in the data, so it actually just generates a function that writes out an empty string now. That's probably more than you care to know, but I figured you might be interested in the implementation details.

Are you using handlebars.js on a project? If so, how has the experience of using it been?

Thanks for getting that nailed. Yes, I'm using it for a small project at the moment, but with a view to using it more extensively. So far I'm delighted with using handlebars, particularly because the support has been so good, which is really appreciated!
