Bug Description
I have a simple test fixture with a SetUp method that runs before each test method.
The SetUp method throws an exception, or calls Assert.Fail().
The GUI reports a failure in the test itself, and doesn't indicate in any way that the failure actually came from the SetUp method. The only way to find that out is to go to the file and line number mentioned in the stack trace.
I should mention that this doesn't happen when the SetUp method is defined in another class which is a SetUpFixture (in which case the GUI says "Parent SetUp failed in MySetUpFixtureC
Using NUnit 2.5.5.10112.

Traditionally, NUnit SetUp and TearDown methods are treated as a part of the
test itself. Generally, we can tell that the failure was in SetUp by looking
at the location of the failure, i.e. the method name.
All that said, i agree that some clearer indication would be helpful.
