Describe the bug

Hi!
First of all, thanks for EditSign! It's very useful.

I was trying to build from tag 1.17.1-2.2.3 (actions run) and it fails with this rather long error message.

I guess the relevant parts are these:

• In plugin 'net.minecraftforge.gradle' type 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.common.tasks.SignJar' property 'alias' doesn't have a configured value.
  Possible solutions: […] 2. Mark property 'alias' as optional.

• In plugin 'net.minecraftforge.gradle' type 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.common.tasks.SignJar' property 'storePass' doesn't have a configured value.
  Possible solutions: […] 2. Mark property 'storePass' as optional.

Is this something I should hot-patch before build?
Or maybe I have to configure something before building.
I was looking for instructions how to build, but couldn't find them in latest master's README.*, and there were no files COMPIL*.* or BUILD*.*.

It also says

• Try: Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

albeit the task was already invoked with --scan, exactly: ./gradlew build --stacktrace --info --scan

Is signing the JAR an optional step? Is there a way to just skip it?

Minecraft version

1.17.1 (guessing from tag name)

Forge version

no idea

Mod version

2.2.3 (guessing from tag name)

* What went wrong:
Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':forge:signJar' (type 'SignJar').
  - In plugin 'net.minecraftforge.gradle' type 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.common.tasks.SignJar' property 'alias' doesn't have a configured value.
    
    Reason: This property isn't marked as optional and no value has been configured.
    
    Possible solutions:
      1. Assign a value to 'alias'.
      2. Mark property 'alias' as optional.

You may want to remove the jar signing as it requires to setup a GPG key and set env variables to function.
A way could be to use what has been used in the more recent versions of the mod:

Thanks! I'll try and make a patch based on that, or find one to cherry-pick. I'll close here once I succeed.

Update: 👍 in build.gradle
