I do much the same, using an exec resource that prints a message and fails if
the file does not exist, and a file resource that depends on the exec, so it
will either be skipped due to failed dependencies, or will set ownership and
permissions if the file does exist. I'd prefer to replace the exec with a
notify:
<pre>
notify { $title:
message => "explain what has to be done to create $filename",
fail => true,
unless => "/bin/test -f $filename",
}
file { $filename:
owner => $owner, group => $group, mode => $mode,
require => Notify[$title],
}
</pre>

Feature #3764: Add "fail" parameter to notify resource

I often want a puppet manifest to result in an error on the client. This is
useful for marking "to do" items, where users should be reminded of
shortcomings in the manifest.
I have added a "fail" parameter to the notify resource. Usage is as follows:
<pre>
notify { "Feature X is not yet implemented":
fail => true,
}
</pre>
I attach a patch to implement this feature, but I have not added test cases.
It would be nice to have "onlyif" and "unless" parameters, but I have not
implemented those.
