I'm using a 'InheritableCategoryAttribute', as below:

using System;
using NUnit.Framework;

namespace Apt.Lib.Product.Data.Tests
{
        [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly | AttributeTargets.Class | 
AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = true, Inherited = true)]
        public class InheritableCategoryAttribute : CategoryAttribute
        {
                public InheritableCategoryAttribute(string name) : base(name)
                {
                }
        }
}


This attribute is applied to an abstract class, which provides some general 
functionality needed by all of my test fixtures:

    [TestFixture]
    [InheritableCategory("MyCategory")]
    public abstract class MyAbstractTests


What I would expect, is that any class extending MyAbstractTests should be 
found in MyCategory.  In practice, this is the case in the Resharper's unit 
testing interface, but not in the NUnit GUI and Command line.  As a result, I'm 
having trouble using this in a CI environment with Hudson

Make CategoryAttribute inherited

Status in NUnit Test Framework: Triaged

Bug description:
The attribute Category (used for making tests as being in a particular 
category) should be inherited. This would allow setting up an abstract base 
class for a certain type of test, marking it as [Category("Whatever")], and 
having NUnit recognize that every other test that inherits from that class is 
also in category "Whatever".

As of 2.5.7.10213, CategoryAttribute is not inherited.
