Validation and munging hooks for property and parameter values definitely run on the master. If you try to specify an invalid value then catalog building will fail. I don't recall whether they run again on the node. > The reason why I am asking because not only do I want to validate that > the user specified a absolute path, but also verify the file exists.

Since it is conceivable that the file of interest might itself be managed by Puppet, this also seems like a textbook case for an autorequire <https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_types.html#automatic-relationships> -- *that* would appear in the type, not the provider.
