[Charlie Poole <charlie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had forgotten that we originally ruled out throwing an exception in
the attribute constructor because it causes errors at the time the test
is loaded. I'll mark this bug report as invalid and look at ways of
making the invalid attribute category more obvious to the user. We
already mark the test in question as not-runnable, but the error doesn't
show up unless you manage to run the test in the first place.

Title:
  CategoryAttribute accepts categories with invalid characters

Status in NUnit Test Framework:
  Invalid
Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  CategoryAttribute should not accept categories containing any of the special characters
  used in category expressions: +, -, |, ( or ). An exception should be thrown in the
  consructor if an invalid category name is detected.

  Original Description:

  Version: 2.5.10
  Create a test in a category that contains hyphens (in my case V_2011-Sprint-k)
  Try to runs tests in this category with the console runner, e.g.
  nunit-console.exe wstestrunner.dll /nologo /nodots /labels /xml:temp.xml /include:V_2011-Sprint-k

  No tests executed, see console output below:

  ProcessModel: Default    DomainUsage: Single
  Execution Runtime: Default
  Included categories: V_2011-Sprint-k

  Tests run: 0, Errors: 0, Failures: 0, Inconclusive: 0, Time: 0.017 seconds
    Not run: 0, Invalid: 0, Ignored: 0, Skipped: 0

  Filtering by this category works OK in GUI app.
