Weird bug with imports in not related files

[antoine-lefebvre]

Expected behavior

When I trigger a dbt run, dbt build or dbt compile from the UI, it does it and nothing else.

Actual behavior

I just came across the weirdest issue I have seen with dbt power user (which I really enjoy btw!). I realised that if there is a file at the root of my workspace which is prefixed by dbt_ and that has the following import : from dbt_dry_run.cli import dry_run the code in that file gets executed.
It should not be executed. (initially my file had a non working code and therefore any dbt command was failing).

Steps To Reproduce

• create a python file at the root of the workspace prefixed by dbt_ . For example dbt_hello.py
• Add the following import: from dbt_dry_run.cli import dry_run
• add some code : print(hello)
• Run a dbt compile/build/run in any dbt project in that workspace
• Check the ouput
