All awesome info! It looks like it’s trying to force signing the module and erroring out with no certs found, though I am never running the `signModule` task. Any idea why this is happening? I just compiled the generator cli, and then used it to create a new module. I then added the missing section in `pluginManagement` listed on this forum post. [Gradle plugin is missing module signer - #3 by Thomas\_Mulcahy](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/gradle-plugin-is-missing-module-signer/60537/3) Then In the new module folder, I ran the build and this is what happened: ```auto kgamble-mbp ➜ ./gradlew build Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 busy and 1 incompatible and 1 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details Required keystore file location not found.
