Issue #3764 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

I'd like to see this be able to solve a similar problem I have with required 
data that isn't supplied by puppet.

For some of our services we need private keys that we don't check into puppet. 
Instead we check in an encrypted version, and manual intervention is required 
to decrypt the key on disk.

I currently do this with a nasty exec resource to test for existence, but I'd 
much rather do this more cleanly.  Now I think of it though, this might be a 
problem that is solved when Puppet can declare relationships to resources that 
it doesn't actually manage, assuming that is still on the cards.

Feature #3764: Add "fail" parameter to notify resource
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3764

Author: Alan Barrett
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal

Category: functions
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4

Branch: 


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.
