tillrohrmann edited a comment on issue #11634: [FLINK-16984][tests] Consolidate Log4j2-test.properties URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/11634#issuecomment-609711858 Thanks for creating this PR @zentol. From a software engineering standpoint I agree with these changes. It makes sense to reduce duplication. From a workflow perspective I think it worsens the situation a bit (or at least it disrupts the existing workflow). Currently when debugging a test from within the IDE, I jump to the test file, which brings me to the correct module, and then I change the `log4j2-test.properties` file in the resources folder of the test folder. This is quite easy and straight forward. With this change, now everyone has to remember that the `logj42-test.properties` comes from `flink-test-utils-junit` which is a higher intrinsic burden and not that obvious when you are new to the project. Before doing any changes, I advise to start a discussion on dev about this topic outlining the benefits and drawbacks as well as the implications for the devs.
