Describe the bug

In dbt_utils<0.7.4, while using get_column_values macro, dbt compile on a dummy schema that doesn't exist in the database yet, returns the default values specified in the macro.
But, In dbt_utils==0.7.4, dbt compile is trying to query the column values even though the table does not exist yet and throws schema <dummy_schema_1111> does not exist error.

Steps to reproduce

Step 1:
This is a sample model that we have.

{{ config(materialized='view', enabled=true) }}

{%- set activity_relation= ref('stg_sf__activities') -%}

with pivot_activity_type as (

  select
    sf_account_id,
    reporting_date,
    {{
      dbt_utils.pivot(
        'activity_type',
        dbt_utils.get_column_values(
          activity_relation,
          'activity_type',
          default=['email', 'call']
        ),
      prefix= 'activity_type_'
      )
    }}

    from {{activity_relation}}

    group by sf_account_id, reporting_date
)

select * from pivot_activity_type

Step 2:
Set schema in profiles.yml to a dummy value.

Step 3:
run dbt compile

Expected results

Previously the macro has:

{%- set target_relation = adapter.get_relation(database=table.database,
                                          schema=table.schema,
                                         identifier=table.identifier) -%} 

which sets target_relation to null when it doesn't exist and the code return default values ['email', 'call'] and the compilation succeeds without querying the database.

Actual results

Now since the code is changed to:

{%- set target_relation = table -%}

it returns schema does not exist error.

System information

The contents of your packages.yml file:

packages:
  - package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils
     version: 0.7.4

Which database are you using dbt with?

• redshift

The output of dbt --version:

installed version: 0.21.0
  latest version: 0.21.0

Up to date!

Plugins:
  - redshift: 0.21.0
  - postgres: 0.21.0

Additional context

The code doesn't go to the below block even if the relation doesn't exist in the database:

        {%- elif not target_relation and default is not none -%}

          {{ log("Relation " ~ table ~ " does not exist. Returning the default value: " ~ default) }}

          {{ return(default) }}
