Config variable does not exist

Question

I'm trying to set up caching and have it disabled for my local environment using {% cache unless craft.config.devMode %}. This works fine on non-local environments, but on my local environment I'm getting the error Method "devMode" for object "Craft\ConfigVariable" does not exist. Even though it does, this is my config file:

return array(
    '*' => array(
        'addTrailingSlashesToUrls' => true,
        'omitScriptNameInUrls' => true,
        'enableCsrfProtection' => true,
        'cpTrigger' => 'example-admin',
        'siteUrl' => (isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) && $_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "https://" : "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],
        'environmentVariables' => array(
            'basePath' => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/data/uploads/',
            'baseURL' => (isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) && $_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "https://" : "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/data/uploads/',
        )
    ),
    '.local' => array(
        'devMode' => true
    )
);

If I {{ dump(craft.config.devMode) }} I get bool(true) so it is being set, it's just when being used in the cache conditional.

Strange. What does this do: {% if craft.config.devMode %}Check DevMode{% endif %}? — carlcs, Nov 13 '14 at 11:58
That worked, must be character encoding as when I manually typed out {% cache unless craft.config.devMode %} it worked. — KeironLowe, Nov 13 '14 at 12:00
No solution to this, but what about setting a new variable 'cache' => true? Then you can set it independently from dev mode. — carlcs, Nov 13 '14 at 12:02

Looks like it was an issue with character encoding. I copied the {% cache unless craft.config.devMode %} from What are the best practices for using the {% cache %} tag?.

When I manually retyped out the conditional it worked properly.
