- I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.
Prerequisites
- I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
- I have tried the
npm run clearoryarn clearcommand. - I have tried
rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.jsonand re-installing packages. - I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.

Description
When building docusaurus, it clean the build folder first build
While setting up a Bazel build i had a file called BUILD but as I am on a case-insensitive filesystem, it prevents the folder or got catch in the glob. Creating this error message:
[ERROR] Unable to build website for locale en.
