cleos wallet create fails if default wallet directory does not exist

[rbw3821]

If the default wallet directory does not exist, then cleos wallet create fails. Note that cleos provides no option to specify the wallet directory.

To replicate, use the following.

$ rm -rf ~/eosio-wallet
$ ls ~/eosio-wallet/
ls: /Users/testuser/eosio-wallet/: No such file or directory

$ cleos wallet create
2825981ms thread-0   main.cpp:2659                 main                 ] Failed with error: unspecified (0)
Unable to open file: /Users/testuser/eosio-wallet/./default.wallet

$ mkdir ~/eosio-wallet
$ cleos wallet create
Creating wallet: default
Save password to use in the future to unlock this wallet.
Without password imported keys will not be retrievable.

It fails regardless of whether the default wallet is being used or a named wallet is used.

Hi.
I tried to create wallet and everything is ok but I unable to find ~/eosio-wallet folder to remove it.
Because there is no method to remove wallet
I am using Ubuntu and follow install Docker on https://developers.eos.io/

~/eosio-wallet is the default directory on the Mac. In my case, this was /Users/testuser/eosio-wallet. Some other changes were made to the wallet code last night and I am not seeing this problem now.

Actually, the part of the problem that is no longer being seen is keosd failing when it is started by cleos AND the wallet directory doesn't exist. There is still a problem with keosd failing if the wallet directory is removed after keosd is running. Attempts to create a wallet after the directory is removed fail.

In my case it is located at /tmp/eosio/data

Running Ubuntu 16.04 (using cleos from docker) I can confirm that my wallet data is in: /tmp/eosio/data
