Missing strong name when using nunit3testexecutor

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to use coverlet with the NUnit3TestAdapter package. However, I get an error message telling me that coverlet.core does not have a strong name. Is it possible to sign the package?

I created the following test project:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="coverlet.msbuild" Version="1.0.2" />
  <PackageReference Include="NUnit" Version="3.10.1" />
  <PackageReference Include="NUnit3TestAdapter" Version="3.10.0" />
</ItemGroup>

</Project>

The project contains one file, Tests.cs:

using NUnit.Framework;

namespace SimpleTestProject
{
    
    public class Tests
    {
        [Test]
        public void FailingTest()
        {
            Assert.That(false);
        }

        [Test]
        public void SucceedingTest()
        {
            Assert.That(true);
        }
    }
}

If I run the tests using dotnet test I get the following result:
