NUnit Generic test fixture not displaying when parameter implements generic interface

I have an interface defined like so: 

public interface ITaskGenerator<T> where T : ITaskRequest
{
    int CreateTask(T request);
}

and an implementer:

public class OrderTaskGenerator : ITaskGenerator<OrderTaskRequest>
{
        public int CreateTask(OrderTaskRequest request)
        {
          ..
        }
}

What I want to do is make a generic test fixture using NUnit, that I can just specify all of the implementers of the ITaskGenerator<ITaskRequest> interface, to run the contract tests for all of them.

Luckily, NUnit has the ability to do that, with the Generic Test Fixture specified here . I've written the following (the [TestFixture(typeof(OrderTaskGenerator))] attribute is what's important for NUnit to pass through the correct type):

    [TestFixture(typeof(OrderTaskGenerator))]
    public class ITaskGeneratorContract<T> where T : ITaskGenerator<ITaskRequest>, new()
    {

        [Test]
        public void CreateTask_Returns_InvalidException_If_Task_ID_Is_Empty()
        {
          // Test goes here
        }
    }

However, this doesn't show up in Test explorer. If I make the interface non-generic it does.

So does anyone know a work around to this, or is there something else that I'm missing. I think it's because ITaskGenerator is a generic interface, but I could be wrong.

Try this:

[TestFixture(typeof(OrderTaskGenerator), typeof(OrderTaskRequest))]
public class TaskGeneratorContractTest<T, TRequest> where T : ITaskGenerator<TRequest>, new() where TRequest : ITaskRequest
{
    private T _sut;

    public TaskGeneratorContractTest()
    {
        _sut = new T();
    }
    [Test]
    public void CreateTask_Returns_InvalidException_If_Task_ID_Is_Empty()
    {
        Assert.IsTrue(true);
    }
}
