What am I getting wrong with this "late" annotation? (InitializationError)

[Colin Bartolome]

I boiled down a situation I was seeing into this:

late String test;

"Run the module `lateTest`."
shared void run() {
    test = "test";
   
    print(test);
}

When I run this module, I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" ceylon.language.InitializationError "Accessing uninitialized 'late' attribute 'test'"
    at lateTest.test_.get_(run.ceylon:1)
    at lateTest.run_.run(run.ceylon:7)

What am I getting wrong in how I'm using the "late" annotation? This is with version 1.2.2 on Java 8.
