Configure Zip/Copy Task in a Plugin with Gradle

Question

I am trying to create an Zip task in a plugin:

class MyPlugin implements Plugin<Project> {

    @Override
    void apply(Project project) {

        Zip buildFunctionArchive = project.tasks.create("buildFunctionArchive", Zip.class) {

            archiveClassifier = "yolo"
            from(project.getTasksByName("compileJava", true))
        }
    }
}

But for some reason even though the compileJava task exists in the project form which I use my plugin. When I print debug output I get: NO-SOURCE

2020-10-05T02:16:03.565+1100 [LIFECYCLE] [class org.gradle.internal.buildevents.TaskExecutionLogger] > Task :buildFunctionArchive NO-SOURCE

If I configure the from in my client project:

buildFunctionArchive{
    from compileJava
}

This works, and I even see the yolo in the archive name. But if I remove the from compileJava

buildFunctionArchive{
}

As well as removing the configuration all together and running gradle buildFunctionArchive The task will not create the archive, even though I have configured this in the MyPlugin class, I will get the NO-SOURCE error. What am I missing? I am wanting to define a Zip task in my plugin but am having no luck.
