The following code generates a syntax error.
{{{
User.objects.annotate(
_a=Case(
When(~Q(pk__in=[]), then=Value(True)),
default=Value(False),
output_field=BooleanField(),
)
).order_by("-a").values("pk")
}}}
The error is:
{{{
ProgrammingError: syntax error at or near "THEN"
LINE 1: ..._user"."id" FROM "users_user" ORDER BY CASE WHEN THEN true ...
}}}
The generated SQL is:
{{{
SELECT "users_user"."id" FROM "users_user" ORDER BY CASE WHEN THEN True
ELSE False END ASC
}}}
I expected behavior to annotate all rows with the value True since they
all match.
Relevant because ~Q(pk__in=[]) is a sentinel value that is sometimes
returned by application code.
