Avoid using directives within `then` clauses - instead place them at the top of the `if` block or another enclosing block. This is fixed on the [online version](https://www.shellcheck.net/) and the next release.* See [Parser Error](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Parser-Error). + +This error occurs in Bash when you put `then` after `else` in an if then else. Else does not need a `then` and it should be removed.
