How to reuse existing run configurations?

I want to create run configuration that basically will do the following:

Preprocess smth (In my case depending on file that is in settings of my configuration generate cpp file and put it to the scope of run configuration I need to run)
Run temporary created or already existed run configuration.

I've tried like this:

     @Nullable
     @Override
     public RunProfileState getState(@NotNull Executor executor, @NotNull ExecutionEnvironment environment) throws ExecutionException {
          AppCodeAppRunConfigurationType configurationType = AppCodeAppRunConfigurationType.getInstance();
          List<RunConfiguration> configurations = RunManager.getInstance(getProject()).getConfigurationsList(configurationType);
          RunConfiguration outputConfiguration = null;
          for (RunConfiguration configuration : configurations) {
               if(configuration.getName().equals("output")) {
                    outputConfiguration = configuration;
               }
          }
          if(outputConfiguration == null) {
               throw new JHelperException("Output configuration not found");
          }
          return outputConfiguration.getState(executor, environment);
     }

But I'm constantly getting "Error running MyConfigurationName: Cannot run on '' (show balloon)"

So what I want to achieve as a first step: when myconfiguration running run another configuration, so that I'll be able to run custom code befire that.
