IntelliJ IDEA won't stop on assertions in debug mode

Question

Why won't IntelliJ IDEA stop in debug mode when an assertion is triggered? I get a java.lang.AssertionError to console, but the running code doesn't pause at it as it is supposed to. Here are my exception breakpoints settings:

I found out that somehow debugger doesn't stop on assertions when running tests, but it does stop when running other code. The code I was trying to make stop on a failed assertion in debug mode was a test. That seems to be the issue, but I don't understand why would IDE behave that way.
