This behavior is by design. When any test is selected, either by name
or by category,
all higher level setups are run.

While we probably won't "fix" this bug, I'm keeping it so we can at lest clarify
how categories work in the docs.

You might want to discuss this on the nunit-discuss list to see whether other
folks would like to see it work differently.

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
In my DLL there are a few TestFixtures, divided to various categories with the Category attribute.
There's also one SetUpFixture that has a global SetUp method, and it's marked with Category("OneCategory").

When I run nunit (either console or GUI) with "/include=OneCategory", the global SetUp method runs, followed by all tests from OneCategory. This is great. However, when I run nunit with "/include=OtherCategory", the same global SetUp method still runs - followed by all tests from OtherCategory. Adding an explicit "/exclude=OneCategory" doesn't seem to help either.

I'd expect that category inclusion and exclusion would also affect the SetUpFixtures that run, not only TestFixtures that run.
