I am experimenting with using `pulumi.ComponentResource` to build in some validation logic. What I am seeing is that if I throw a `pulumi.ResourceError` pulumi prints it twice with a stack trace. It appears that pulumi.ResourceError ignores my “hideStack = true” parameter. It also appears that apply occurs before or regardless of an error creating the output. I’m probably doing something wrong here, but I would like to have a single nice error displayed w/o the stack and only perform validation if the underlying resource create succeeds.

Here is the code: <https://gist.github.com/brandonkal/af95cc41a7548a0e323fac90cbe2df23>

I don't think there is any need to throw a `ResourceError`.  If you just throw a normal `Error` - do you see the same?

Yes. I’ll update the gist and open an issue.
