Error while adding classpath in manifest using Gradle

Question

I am trying to add a manifest to a jar containing classpaths of dependency jar files. I found this solution here. Initially my build.gradle file was like this and worked properly.

plugins {
    id 'java'
}

group 'com.iiot-wizards'
version '2.0.0.1'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.7.2'
    testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.7.2'

    implementation files('lib/Utils-2.0.0.1.jar')

    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-compress
    implementation group: 'org.apache.commons', name: 'commons-compress', version: '1.21'

    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-io/commons-io
    implementation group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.11.0'

}

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes(
                'Class-Path': 'TinyLog-2.0.0.1.jar commons-io-2.11.0.jar commons-compress-1.21.jar Utils-2.0.0.1.jar'
        )
    }
}
test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

I changed jar section to this one as per accepted answer:

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes(
                "Class-Path": configurations.compile.collect { it.getName() }.join(' '))
    }
}

Now I am getting following error. What am I doing wrong here?
