I have NCrunch setup to only run unit tests that are marked with a test category of "Unit". I don't like having strings in my code so I made test attribute that exposes the category but NCrunch doesn't pick it up like all the other tools do.

I can write a TestCategory like this and it works.

[TestCategory("Unit")]

But if I use my custom attribute [UnitTest] it doesn't get run by NCrunch but tools like MSTest understand it.

public class UnitTestAttribute : TestCategoryBaseAttribute
{
public UnitTestAttribute()
{ }
public override IList<string> TestCategories
{
get { return new List<string> { "Unit" }; }
}
}

Please make this work.

Thanks,
Paul Mendoza

For anyone interested, support for derived MSTest category attributes has been introduced with the newly released version of NCrunch (v1.45), although this will only work if you set the 'Framework utilisation type for MSTest' solution-level configuration setting to 'DynamicAnalysis'.
