I thought assertFailsWith should fail when wrong exception is caught, but this seems to be successful:

val block: () -> Unit = {
“a string”._toInt_()
}

_assertFailsWith_<IllegalArgumentException>(block = block)

What am I missing?

NumberFormatException inherits from IllegalArgumentException

https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-number-format-exception/

Which likely is why the test passes
