Add class to parent if child has content

I am trying to add a class to the closest element if a child with class of .present has any html content.

My code at the moment....

<article>
  <div class="box">
    <h2>1 dec</h2>
  </div>

  <div class="present">
    <h1>HAS CONTENT</h1>
  </div>
</article>

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
      if ($(".present").html().length > 0) {
       $(this).parent().addClass('active');
      }
  });
</script>

I have tested if condition with a console.log so is being returned as true but active class is not being added to parent element. Can anybody let me know what I am doing wrong here?

You can use filter() to get element that does not have html and then get their parent to add class

$(".present").filter(function(){
   return $(this).html().trim().length > 0;
}).parent().addClass('active');

Edit

To add class to .present you can skip .parent()

Live Demo

$(".present").filter(function(){
   return $(this).html().trim().length > 0;
}).addClass('active');
