assert.throws fails in component integration tests with ember 2.12

See original GitHub issue

I installed Ember 2.12 and created new project with a component and a test to ensure it throws an error if required attribute is not provided. I can’t get this test to pass.

npm install -g ember-cli@2.12
ember new ember-test
cd ember-test
ember g component dummy-component
...copy/paste code below...
ember test

dummy-component.js

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  value: Ember.computed(() => {
    Ember.assert("Someone forgot to provide a required value attribute");
  })
});

dummy-component.hbs

{{value}}
{{yield}}

dummy-component-test.js

import { moduleForComponent, test } from 'ember-qunit';
import hbs from 'htmlbars-inline-precompile';

moduleForComponent('dummy-component', 'Integration | Component | dummy component', {
  integration: true
});

test('it throws', function(assert) {
  assert.throws(() => {
    this.render(hbs`{{dummy-component}}`);
  }, 'Error: Assertion Failed: Someone forgot to provide a required value attribute');
});

Error:
