Add an [Issue] attribute to tests

[Shay Rojansky]

[Issue now tracked at https://github.com/nunit/nunit-framework/issues/43]

It seems like having an [Issue] attribute, with the URL pointing to a bug tracker page related to the test, would be a useful thing...

What behavior would you expect with this? If it's only informational, we
already can support it via PropertyAttribute.

I thought of It as informational, but its being "standard" would enable GUIs to treat its content as a hyperlink, or to group tests that refer to the same issue, for instance. Nothing beyond a more semantic, standardized approach...

OK, so this is different and in addition to from your proposed KnownBugAttribute?

[Shay Rojansky (roji)]

Yes, although both are similar in that they're largely semantic markup of tests, which would be relevant to almost any project (whereas PropertyAttribute is perfect for capturing more project-specific categories, etc).

On another note, I was wondering whether you accept patches and what would be the way to contribute (coming from the github world things seem more complicated :))

The bug is on GitHub now, along with our source code for nunit 3.0. So now you know what to do. :-)
