When I try to generate a SiteMap

Please indicate versions of PS, PHP and gsitemap module.

It’s very likely your category has no language row in ps_category_lang for the language you’re generating, so the module’s getCategoryLink() ends up working with an unloaded Category and still tries to read its properties. The weak guard is inside the module’s getCategoryLink() (the sitemap method). You can pinpoint the offending record with a quick dump:

// inside modules/gsitemap/... getCategoryLink()
dump($category_id);

$category = new Category((int) $category_id['id_category'], (int) $lang['id_lang']);

if (empty($category->id_category)) {
    dump($category);
    die;
}

The loop will stop on the problematic category when you try to generate the sitemap, meaning that this category is missing its language entry (or isn’t properly loaded).
