Description

When using argument captor together with assertThat::isInstanceOf in the example code that is provided an ClassCastException is expected. This behavior can be seen when running the test from command line and as well from Intellij which uses surefire plugin. However this code behaves predictably in Eclipse since it has its own test executor.
