Description

When you click on a hive action in the web UI, it's supposed to bring up another popup with the details about the action. Once the action finishes, if you try to click it nothing happens; Firefox's web console says:

TypeError: this.items is undefined @ http://localhost:11000/oozie/ext-2.2/ext-all.js:136

It seems to occur when externalChildIDs in the JSON blob is an empty string.
