IIRC you meant to comment out the conditional for the sake of testing the rest.  This is not how you comment out jinja (sorry for failing to catch this live).  `{# this will be silently swallowed by Jinja #}` is the syntax for that.  So the `#`s at the beginning are only seen by bash, which ignores them.

While this does no serious evil, I suggest you take the `#`s out to prevent confusion.
