Task: signJar FAILED when trying to gradle assemble

I am trying to use a tool (PharmCAT.org) that utilizes gradle but it seems that it turns up with the following error when “gradle assemble” or “./gradlew assemble” was used:

Task :signJar FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ‘:signJar’.

Cannot perform signing task ‘:signJar’ because it has no configured signatory

  • Try:
    Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

The following is the result for stacktrace:

Task :compileJava UP-TO-DATE
Task :processResources UP-TO-DATE
Task :classes UP-TO-DATE
Task :osgiClasses UP-TO-DATE

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 6.0.

Any suggestions in order to improve my post is appreciated.
