@TimvdLippe it looks like we fixed this one in https://github.com/mockito/shipkit/pull/782.
I can do some local testing and provide a PR for this one soon (shipkit version update). Thanks for that @epeee Looking forward to that PR. Thank you guys!

After the latest Shipkit update, our Travis is failing: https://travis-ci.org/mockito/mockito/jobs/501397895#L1693 It fails with
