No display for TestFixtureSetUp/TearDown or SetUpFixture errors

[Charlie Poole]

Since the test window only displays errors associated with Test Cases, a failure of a TestFixtureSetUp method is never reported. The same goes for TestFixtureTearDown, the setup or teardown associated with SetUpFixtures and any ActionAttributes that are not applied directly to a test case.

In the case of setup failures, we could reflect the same error on every included test case, but for teardown that's not possible, since the test has already been reported.

It's a major issue that requires some discussion to figure out the right way to handle it.

This is postponed until Microsoft provides a way to report such errors.

As an interim fix, we are now writing the error message for any TestFixtureSetup or TestFixtureTearDown failure in the test log, which displays in the output window of the IDE. This is not a fully satisfactory solution, but a better one will need to wait for VS to provide a better way to report these errors.
