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

Faced error when tried to build the application with metadata: [{name: 'robots', content: 'noindex'}] set in docusaurus.config.js. This is a recommended way of hiding the website from search crawlers. I was also able to avoid the issue by using an alternative way of applying noindex in metadata.

Reproducible demo

https://github.com/chernodub/docusaurus-build-issue-repro

Steps to reproduce

With attached demo:

1. Clone the repo
2. npm install
3. npm run build

With clean docusaurus build:

1. npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website classic
2. cd my-website
3. Add metadata: [{name: 'robots', content: 'noindex'}] to docusaurus.config.js
4. npm run build

Expected behavior

npm run build finishes without errors

Actual behavior

npm run build fails with an error

node:events:505
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
