The message on each test case is intended only as a reference to the
error, which occured at the fixture level. You should look at the test
fixture containing the cases for the full info.

Places to examine for this information:
1) The XML output for the parent fixture.
2) The console output if you are running nunit-console.
3) The Gui errors tab if you are running nunit.exe
4) The test Properties if you are running nunit.exe

Depending on where it does or doesn't appear, the nature
of the bug changes.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of NUnit
Developers, which is subscribed to NUnit V2.

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
Please provide stack trace for fixture failures. It becomes very easy to debug such failures, otherwise we are just left with one message that fixture failed..without really telling the reason.
