Attempt to change static non final field throws IllegalArgument Exception

Class that has private static non final field

package sample;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class App {
   private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(App.class);

   public void doSomething() {
      logger.error("Cannot do something");
   }
}

Attempt to set this field through reflection

package sample;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.test.util.ReflectionTestUtils;

import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;

public class AppTest {

    @Test
    public void doSomething() throws Exception {
        App app = new App();

        Logger mockedLogger = mock(Logger.class);

        ReflectionTestUtils.setField(App.class, "logger", mockedLogger);
    }
}

results in IllegalArgumentException
