closes #1645
This PR fixes an issue where dbt generated a
profiles/.user.ymlfile if the--profiles-dirflag (or$DBT_PROFILES_DIRenv var) was set to a path which did not contain a profiles.yml file. There remains an inconsistency between how--profiles-dirand$DBT_PROFILES_DIRoperate when users run dbt from a subdirectory of the project. We should resolve this issue in a future PR, potentially by deferring the loading of the user config until dbt understands more of the project structure. See #1645 for more information on this approach.Ultimately, if a user points dbt to a profile dir which does not contain a profile, dbt is going to fail pretty hard. This PR fixes a symptom of that problem -- dbt will no longer create user cookies in directories which are not already identified by
profiles.ymlfiles. Note: this means that the user cookie id may be inconsistent for the first couple of runs for a user, or between runs when the profile dir is being changed dynamically with--profiles-diror$DBT_PROFILES_DIR. I am happy to trade a little bit of noise in the anonymous event data to prevent these cookies from being errantly littered across the users' filesystems.
