How to Exclude a test from running using VS2012, TFS Build and NUnit

I have the following setup Visual studio 2012 Update 2 NUnit Test Adapter Beta 4 NUnit 2.62

I mark a test with either of the following attributes Category from NUnit or TestCategory from MSTest:

[Category("WebServer")]
public void FooTest() {
 //test
}


[TestCategory("WebServer")]
public void FooTest2() {
 //test
}

In the TFS Build Template, I Set the property

  1. Basic -> 1. Test Source -> Test Case Filter to the value: TestCategory!=WebServer

When the build executes NO TESTS execute. Removing the Filter and all tests run again.

The output from the build log is

No test is available in C:\Builds\2\Proj\Build\bin\Debug\Tests.Integration.dll C:\Builds\2\Proj\Build\bin\Debug\Tests.Unit.dll C:\Builds\2\Proj\Build\bin\Debug\Tests.Web.dll C:\Builds\2\Proj\Build\bin\Debug\TestStack.BDDfy.dll. Make sure that installed test discoverers & executors, platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.

Any clues how I can get a test to be excluded base on Category name? I can easily verify the attribute works if I use the NUnit console runner.

When using NUnit Test Adapter v1.1+, test Categories can be used on TFSBuild. You just need to install the package with your Test Project, and configure test case filter on your build definition.

Answering an old question as this was one of the first results Google returned.

From here it would seem that this was a bug that has been fixed in version 1.1, which unfortunately (as of 22 Jan 2014) has not yet been released to nuget

From here it would appear that you cannot use the TestCategory filters on NUnit tests, only on MSTest tests.

As a note, it would also appear that you are changing the property on the TFS Build Definition, not the Build Template. This is what I would expect, as changing the build definition would be the wrong place to change this.
