Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.

Now there exists 'org-babel-after-execute-hook'. I want to implement
this functionality: Check whether the path specified in `:file' exists
in file system and throw an error if that does not exists. If there is
`org-babel-before-execute-hook', we can do that instead of using
advice. I love symmetry :)

Not a bug, of course.

You can check on things like file existence in a number of ways.

First, you can put emacs-lisp in header args, for example:

This evaluates when there is a file called "elisp" in the default 
directory:

#+header: :eval (or (file-exists-p "elisp") "no")
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :eval (file-exists-p "elisp")
"got it!"
#+END_SRC


and this does not (when there is no 'eeeelisp'):

#+header: :eval (or (file-exists-p "eeeelisp") "no")
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
"got it!"
#+END_SRC

I've illustrated here with `:eval', but `:file' will also take such an 
elisp snippet.


Alternatively, you can define a function for `org-confirm-babel-evaluate' 
that will block evaluation.

Yes this is not a bug and I have implemented this using advice:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; See https://emacs-china.org/t/file/696
;; And http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-07/msg00136.html
(defun check-file-exists-advice (orig-fun
                                 &optional arg
                                 info
                                 params)
  ;; Copied from ob-core.el. May not be compatible.
  (let* ((org-babel-current-src-block-location
	  (or org-babel-current-src-block-location
	      (nth 6 info)
	      (org-babel-where-is-src-block-head)
	      ;; inline src block
	      (and (org-babel-get-inline-src-block-matches)
		   (match-beginning 0))))
	 (info (if info
		   (copy-tree info)
		 (org-babel-get-src-block-info)))
	 (merged-params (org-babel-merge-params (nth 2 info) params))) 
    (when (cdr (assoc :file merged-params))
      (unless (file-exists-p (cdr (assoc :file merged-params)))
        (error "File does not exist"))))
  (funcall orig-fun arg info params))

(advice-add 'org-babel-execute-src-block :around #'check-file-exists-advice)
#+END_SRC

And this is just a feature request: I’d love to implement this feature
in another way.
