Hi guys,

Here's the problem.

1) The Attributes assembly defines an enum TestCasePriority.
2) By virtue of inheriting from PropertyAttribute and passing the enum
to the base constructor, NUnit is required to understand TestCasePriority.
3) In order to understand TestCasePriority, the Attributes assembly would
have to be a part of NUnit. This is a normal outcome of the way information
is serialized in .NET.

The best solution, IMO, is to pass priority.ToString() to the base
constructor.
I did that and  the test loaded and ran OK.

If this were part of an NUnit addin, then the attribute could be defined in
the
addin assembly and the enum would then be known to NUnit. If the end goal
is to have an addin that somehow acts on the priority value, then that would
be the easiest solution.

All that said, it still does not seem to be a bug.
