It is not uncommon for an error to be thrown from View.getItems. Currently Jenkins behaves poorly in this case: it displays an "oops" page with a cryptic stack trace

      java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method isEmpty() on null object
      at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.NullObject.invokeMethod(NullObject.java:77)
      at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.PogoMetaClassSite.call(PogoMetaClassSite.java:45)
      at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSiteArray.defaultCall(CallSiteArray.java:42)
      at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.NullCallSite.call(NullCallSite.java:32)

      that has no relation to the real error.
