Gradle 7.2 Tar task baseName deprecated but replacement archiveBaseName is rejected - gradle

Question

I have started using Gradle 7.2 to build a project that produces a compressed Tar archive. Gradle is issuing a deprecation warning that baseName is deprecated and should be replaced with archiveBaseName. But it rejects archiveBaseName.
A very much simplified example using a trivial Gradle build script, with their associated execution outputs are given below. I did run 'gradle --stop' to ensure a prior version's daemon wasn't actually executing; a GRADLE_HOME environment variable is pointing to the correct Gradle folder (not sure it's needed, but it is set.)
I tried using "archiveBaseName" both without and with "=" ("archiveBaseName 'Test'" and "archiveBaseName='Test'").
The docs seem to suggest archiveBaseName should already be available, so I don't think it's just a heads up of things to come.
Thank you!
Gradle file:
task dist(type: Tar) {
baseName 'Test'
into ('.') { from('.') }
}
Execution:
gradle build --warning-mode=all
c:\jdev\newpaas\xxx>gradle build --warning-mode all
> Configure project :
The AbstractArchiveTask.baseName property has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 8.0. Please use the archiveBaseName property instead. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.AbstractArchiveTask.html#org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.AbstractArchiveTask:baseName for more details.

> Task :dist FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':dist' (type 'Tar').
- Type 'org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Tar' property 'archiveFile' 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 'archiveFile'.
2. Mark property 'archiveFile' as optional.
Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/userguide/validation_problems.html#value_not_set for more details about this problem.

I stumbled across this syntax and it seems to be working for me:
archiveFileName = "${archiveBaseName}-${archiveVersion}.${archiveExtension}"
