Gatsby-plugin-sitemap failing in post build

Description

I just updated my Gatsby plugin sitemap to v. 4.1 and it is now failing when building the page.

Steps to reproduce

I haven’t changed any settings on my page - this is how I integrate the plugin in gatsby-config.js:

{
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-sitemap`,
      options: {
        output: `/sitemap.xml`,
        // Exclude specific pages or groups of pages using glob parameters
        exclude: [
          `/en/offline-plugin-app-shell-fallback/`,
          `/en/privacy-policy`,
          `/privacy-policy`,
          `/besked-modtaget/`,
          `/en/besked-modtaget/`,
          `/en/404/`,
          `/en/404.html`,
          `/en/artikler/artikler-kommer-snart`,
          `/artikler/artikler-kommer-snart`,
        ],
      },
    },

Expected result

Page should build XML sitemap

Actual result

Gatsby is throwing the following error in build:

 ERROR #11321  PLUGIN

"gatsby-plugin-sitemap" threw an error while running the onPostBuild lifecycle:

In my case the option exclude has been renamed to excludes in v4 - note the trailing s!

Thanks a lot ediblecode!!

That’s it!!

I changed exclude to excludes and my build is now completed without any errors!
