dockerfileZip: property 'archiveFile' doesn't have a configured value

[phreed]

With a subproject :docker-image I get the following error when running ./gradlew :docker-image:dockerfileZip:

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':docker-image:dockerfileZip' (type 'Zip').
  - Type 'org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Zip' property 'archiveFile' doesn't have a configured value.

Here are the offending lines:

gradle-docker/src/main/groovy/com/palantir/gradle/docker/PalantirDockerPlugin.groovy

Lines 92 to 95 in 34cf512

	Zip dockerfileZip = project.tasks.create('dockerfileZip', Zip, {
	group = 'Docker'
	description = 'Bundles the configured Dockerfile in a zip file'
	})

Here is the documentation for setting up a Zip:

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/working_with_files.html#sec:creating_archives_example

Originally I had a top level docker project.
I believe this was not a problem until I converted it into a subproject.
Here is the work around I made in my sub-project:

tasks {
    named<Zip>("dockerfileZip") {
        archiveFileName.set("${rootProject.name}.zip")
        destinationDirectory.set(layout.buildDirectory.dir("docker/dist"))
    }
}

I am using gradle v7.2

I found that the problem occurs when we are not using the distribution plugin (or some other plugin that sets up zip tasks).
