Mockk set private properties of collection in Kotlin

While accessing the private variables in Mockk, not able to set the values of private property.

We have CustomerImpl class and which has 1 private property called customerData.

We want to set data in private property customerData from our Test case without calling updateCache() method.

We are using Mockk 1.10.6

CustomerImpl Class

class CustomerImpl {
    private var customerData : MutableList<CustomerModel> = mutableListOf()

    private fun updateCache() {
        ... here customerData is updated.
    }

    fun clearCache() {
        if(customerData.isNotEmpty())
            customerData.clear()
    }
}

Test Class

class CustomerImplTest {

    private lateinit var customerImpl: CustomerImpl

    @Before
    fun setUp() {

        MockKAnnotations.init(this)

        customerImpl = spyk(CustomerImpl(), recordPrivateCalls = true)
    }

    @Test
    fun clearCacheTest() {
        val customer = listOf(CustomerModel(id = "3", name = "John"))
        every { customerImpl setProperty "customer" value customer } just Runs

        customerImpl.clearCache()
    }
}

When we tried to run this test case, it is giving us below error.
