You can use the fail method as seen here.

[Puppet Users] Re: Custom provider woes and questions

[Corey Osman]

I'll be releasing a type/provider generator that creates these files with 
basic code and unit tests in the next release of puppet-retrospec.  You can 
use right now if you want to compile the gem 
yourself. https://github.com/nwops/puppet-retrospec/tree/development. 

Types and providers are documented pretty good inside the source code, so 
if your editor allows you to click on Parent classes and such (Rubymine) 
its a little bit easier to see how things work and the Puppet Types and 
Providers book by Nan Liu and Dan Bode is well written and can help explain 
many things in a somewhat concise way.

Nevermind... figured out what was going on..   and fixed that problem and
now a more bugs to squash...

How do I raise a failed exception in a provider (this before I start
googleing) :-)
