+"""Tests for the statistics nodes.sql template (#10310).
+
+pgAdmin renders its SQL templates with Jinja's trim_blocks enabled, which
+removes the newline after every block tag. nodes.sql used to end its WHERE
+clause with a conditional, so with neither a statistics id nor schema_diff
+set - which is exactly what the Object Explorer sends when it expands the
+Statistics collection - the rendered SQL read "...::oidORDER BY s.stxname"
+and the server rejected it, leaving the node empty.
+
+The template is rendered through the application's own Jinja environment,
+via the versioned template loader, and executed against the server.
