Yes, the error is of missing empty line and I only resolved that particular error in the first version of this patch. But I was recommended to keep the conditional statement close to the line it is associated with and to make changes in the code wherever similar format is followed. So I followed the advise of Kieran Bingham and made changes accordingly.
