Gradle 7 create a fat jar

I need to create a fat jar from my dependencies that won't contain dependencies in scope compileOnly

dependencies {
   api 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.26' // this must be in the jar
   compileOnly 'it.unimi.dsi:fastutil:8.2.1' // this must not be in the jar

    jar {
        from {
            configurations.compileClasspath.findAll { it.name.endsWith('jar') }.collect { zipTree(it) }
        }
    }
}

When I build the project both dependencies are present within the final jar file. How am I supposed to exclude fastutil from fat jar?

I tried to use runtimeOnly

runtimeOnly 'it.unimi.dsi:fastutil:8.2.1' // this must not be in the jar

But this causes the fastutil to be unresolvable during compile time.

I'm running Java 16 and Gradle 7.0.2.

Use configurations.runtimeClasspath instead of configurations.compileClasspath. compileClasspath contains all libraries required for compilation, thus fastutil is included. runtimeClasspath on the other hand excludes libraries from configuration compileOnly.
