在将Android Studio的Gradle插件升级到3.0.1并将Gradle升级到4.1之后，无法复制配置依赖关系

我曾经使用此简单的gradle任务将编译"依赖项复制到特定文件夹:

I used to copy 'compile' dependencies to a specific folder using this simple gradle task :

task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.compile
    into "$project.rootDir/reports/libs/"
}

但是，在使用用于Android Studio的gradle插件3.0.1和Gradle工具将我的Android项目升级到4.1之后，它停止了工作.由于依赖配置'compile'现在已被

But it stopped working just after upgrading my Android project using gradle plugin 3.0.1 for Android Studio and Gradle tool to 4.1. As the dependency configuration 'compile' is now deprecated by https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html#new_configurations I changed it to 'implementation'. However, I am not able to use my copyLibs task as resolving configuration 'implementation' directly is not allowed as per Gradle build error output :

$ ./gradlew.bat clean build

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:copyLibs'.
> Resolving configuration 'implementation' directly is not allowed

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 1s

请参阅以下我当前用于应用程序模块的build.gradle文件:Apply插件:'com.android.application'

See following my current build.gradle file for app module : apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "newgradle.com.testingnewgradle"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.implementation
    into "$project.rootDir/reports/libs/"
}
build.dependsOn copyLibs

如果我使用编译"功能，则可以使用，但我希望符合此插件的最新建议用法.

If I use 'compile' it works but I would like to be compliant with the latest recommendation on this plugin the usage.

我需要帮助来升级我的copyLibs任务，以便像升级我的环境之前一样工作. 我正在为Android Studio使用Gradle插件2.2.3和Gradle工具2.14.1.

I need help to upgrade my copyLibs task in order to work as before upgrading my enviromment. I was using gradle plugin 2.2.3 for Android Studio and Gradle tool 2.14.1.
