Add Category Support to nunitlite Runner

[Tyrel Alastair Hunter]

This Feature is to bring the Category Support from NUnit 3 -> nunitlite so that you can execute all tests in a specified category from using a command line option

[Charlie Poole (charlie.poole)]

Thanks for filing this. We need to consider whether to support...

1. include/exclude like the existing nunit-console
2. a more generic filter option, possibly extensible to properties
3. an category expression syntax, as in nunit-console
4. a different syntax

My inclination is to just go for a single option (/include, /filter,
other?) and have a syntax that allows negating choices.

The current syntax with + and - has caused some problems because it doesn't
let categories have a hyphen in their names. I'd be inclined to use and, or
and not in a new syntax.

We could implement it without expressions at first, of course. No need to
do more than what is already needed.

I have already asked my team to port over the existing functionality as it exists in nunit 3.0 however If we work to define these requirements quickly we could change the way that this feature works for nunitlite. I makes sense to fix some of the issues as we implement the feature if we know that the issues exisit in other versions of nunit

[Charlie Poole (charlie.poole)]

Can you clarify _which_ nunit 3.0 functionality you are loooking at?

There's a test-only runner in the framework project, a public runner in the
console project and a 3.0 version of the nunitlite runner.

This is the response I got from my team when showing them your comment Friday

Thanks for the link. I think I got the /include and /exclude options completely ported over from NUnit to NUnit lite. However, I am still doing some testing to make sure it all works the same, but from what I have tested the /include and /exclude works with single categories as well as multiple categories delimited by commas.

Sorry here is the rest of their reply

I will also watch the link on launchpad to see if Charlie Poole has any comments on what should be changed. I did bring over the Category Expressions from NUnit (still haven't completely tested if all operations work), but if we decided not to implement Category Expressions then that should be complete.

As we discussed offline, let's stick with /include and /exclude with single
or comma-separated categories for now in NUnitLite. The category Expression
implementation can be commented out or suppressed by #if. Make sure to do
the same for any support classes.

Since NUnitLite doesn't have any category support right now, this limited
support will be a plus and we can avoid adding a feature that we would
probably remove later on.
