After further investigation, I have realized that the problem here is the use of ProcessFailureException when we validate the project name.
It seems that in the upstream code, even if this error is thrown and shown, after caching it, the process still continues and somehow manages to hit a point where the project configuration is null, showing a second exception.
When using a different type of exception, such as OperationCanceledException, only one error message is shown, but whitout offering the possibility to configure the message shown(except for the details).

This is the best we can achieve to prompt the user with the info on the error by clicking the details due to limitation of underline upstream code
