How to use jacocoTestReport in combinatino with useJunitPlatform

Help/Discuss

I have a groovy project and run junit tests. I wanted to switch over to use test { useJUnitPlatform() } (using gradle 4.7) but the problem I encounter is that jacocoTestReport does not work anymore, has no effect respectively.
I configure jacocoTestReport as shown in the example (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/jacoco_plugin.html#example_configuring_test_task):

   test {
        useJUnitPlatform()
    }

    jacocoTestReport {
        reports {
            xml.enabled false
            csv.enabled false
            html.destination file("${buildDir}/jacocoHtml")
        }
    }

What do I need to do that junit and jacoco work together?
