TypeError: Invalid URL while trying to build with sitemap not set to false

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I’m using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

I’m using v2.1.0 and I’ve noticed that I get an error when I want to create a production build with sitemap not set to false, the yarn run start works with no issue, but when I run yarn run build I get a build error. If I set the sitemap option to false, it builds without errors. I use it as a blog only.

Reproducible demo

No response

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://gitlab.com/chreniuc/hreniuc-dev -b failed_build
cd hreniuc-dev
yarn install
yarn run build

Expected behavior

To build successfully.

Actual behavior

I’m receiving this error:

🤪 hard to understand but I figured it out:

- url: 'hreniuc.dev',
+ url: 'https://hreniuc.dev',

I guess the config value you provide is fine and we should instead ensure that our normalization process will always normalize it to add the missing https:// protocol

Yeah, it’s always a good idea to at least give a heads-up—especially since it’s October😅
