DOMException: Failed to execute 'importNode' on 'Document'

After migrating to v3.0.5 the plugin throws the following error:

browser-symbol.js?59cf:52 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'importNode' on 'Document': The imported node has an invalid namespace.
    at parse (webpack-internal:///./node_modules/svg-baker-runtime/browser-symbol.js:52:21)

It still works fine.

My webpack config:

{
      test: /\.svg$/,
      include: /sprite/,
      loader: 'svg-sprite-loader',
    },

And I use it like this:

import glyph from 'images/svg.svg';
...
  <svg viewBox={glyph.viewBox}>
    <use xlinkHref={`#${glyph.id}`} />
  </svg>

• Node.js version: 6.9.4
• webpack version: 3.1.0
• svg-sprite-loader version: 3.0.5
• OS type & version: MacOS Sierra 10.12.5

@gazpachu I fixed my issues by removing metadata tags from my SVGs as I described here: https://github.com/kisenka/svg-sprite-loader/issues/154#issuecomment-316008710

So it works well for me since than.

I’m sorry, I pasted code of a wrong SVG. This is the one that causes the issue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
   xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
   xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#"
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   viewBox="0 0 200 199.96001"
   height="199.96001"
   width="200"
   xml:space="preserve"

   version="1.1"><metadata

     transform="matrix(1.3333333,0,0,-1.3333333,0,199.96)"
     id="g10"><g
       transform="scale(0.1)"
       id="g12"><path
         id="path14"
         style="fill:#4eb9e8;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:none"
         d="M 1500,749.867 C 1500,335.719 1164.22,0 750,0 335.789,0 0,335.719 0,749.867 0,1164 335.789,1499.73 750,1499.73 c 414.22,0 750,-335.73 750,-749.863" /></g></g></svg>

And removing this weird piece of code:

<metadata
     id="metadata8"><rdf:RDF><cc:Work
         rdf:about=""><dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format><dc:type
           rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" /></cc:Work></rdf:RDF></metadata>

fixes the issue.
