doesn't call helperMissing when using #with

[joshrtay]

You would expect the following to call helperMissing:

Handlebars.compile("{{#with obj}}{{name}}{{/with}}")({});

but instead an error is thrown:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

I'm not sure that there's an easy answer to this. The {{name}} here is essentially being converted into {{obj.name}} which explains your error. Possibly we could have a try/catch statement that then tries helperMissing. I'm not sure if this is the right solution though.

I understand why its throwing an error, but it seems like there should be a test to make sure obj exists before going forward.

something like this:

foundHelper = helpers.obj;
stack1 = foundHelper || depth0.obj;
if(stack1=== undefined) { stack1 = helpers['helperMissing'].call(depth0, "obj", { hash: {} }); }

this way helperMissing can return an obj if it needs to

Calling helperMissing does not seem right here. 0872fb6 fixes the exception, causing no output from the with block if the object is undefined. If you need to have handling for the missing with case I would recommend adding an {{#unless obj}} block before or after your with call to output the content that you need for that case. i.e.

{{#with obj}}Its here!{{/with}}
{{#unless obj}}It's not{{/unless}}
