UnitTestRunner (and most likely the full blown ReSharper too) ignores [SetUpFixture] classes that are supposed to be called before and after every TestFixture class is ran.

The following code implements a valid NUnit SetUpFixture and should be called:

[SetUpFixture]
public class UnitTestSetUp
{
[SetUp]
public void SetupFixture()
{
Console.WriteLine("I want to be called!");
}

[TearDown]
public void UnitTestTearDown
{
Console.WriteLine("Yeah, me too!");
}
}
