hi all, I have a resouce which used to be a c# void where resource were created, and now it's refactored to a "proper" pulumi class - inheriting from pulumi "stack". When I do pulumi preview now, I get
```error: Duplicate resource URN 'urn:pulumi:&lt;stuff&gt;::pulumi:pulumi:Stack::&lt;stuff&gt;'; try giving it a unique name```
anyone know if there's a way around this? The entire stack is the same, its just that I now inherit from the "stack" class so I can provide outputs. Is there any way of fixing this without having to tear down the stack?

i use the `return await …` method myself - but it sounds like the `Stack` class is trying to create something that already exists, ordinarily you might use import to fix this but idt you can import a stack.

maybe edit the state directly? what do you get if you do `pulumi stack export &gt; blah` and then look for the URN referenced? it should have an entry under `resources` that has the matching `urn` and a `type`.

(wondering if the type is `pulumi:pulumi:Stack` or something else)

yup, its stack. I figure out the error, I need to initialize the program differently when subclassing from "stack". THanks!
