This is a backport of PR #13086 as merged into main (3214263).
This PR addresses issue #13083 by modifying the scandir function to handle the case where a non-existent directory is provided. Previously, the function did not return a result for such cases, potentially leading to unhandled errors. Now, if the directory does not exist, the function will return an empty list instead.
Changes made:
Updated scandir to catch FileNotFoundError and return an empty list if the directory does not exist.
Updated the function docstring to reflect the new behavior.
Testing:
Also two tests were added.
Closes #13083
