Pug error "unexpected token else"

I get a weird error were pug doesn't recognize the else. The same code works in the video.

extends layout.pug

block content
    If name
        h2 Welcome fellow student #{name}!
    else
        form(action="/hello", method="post")
            label Please enter your name here
                input(type="text", name="username")
            button(type="submit") Submit

5|         h2 Welcome fellow student #{name}!
    6|         
  > 7|     else
-----------^
    8|         form(action="/hello", method="post")
    9|             label Please enter your name here
    10|                 input(type="text", name="username")
