Remix errors when the data-build/routes folder is missing

Details

I'm setting up a new project and I haven't defined any route data yet. Running tsc -b generates the data-build folder, but not the routes subfolder because there are no files yet.

Running npm run dev gives the following error:

[0] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '...project path...\data-build\routes'

From digging into @remix-run/core/routesConvention.js it looks like adding an fs.existsSync(dir) check to visitFiles would be enough to handle the error (and maybe add a console warning to indicate that the directory couldn't be found).
