In the robots.txt file, the value of the sitemap field is a relative URL. This should be changed to an absolute URL. See protocol: https://sitemaps.org/protocol.html#submit_robots For example, in the Google search console, this error message appears when it's a relative url: > "Invalid sitemap URL" incomprehensible syntax I think it would be interesting to have a default sitemap field in the right format using `root_url`.
