Hi,

have you noticed that our tests spit out a lot of log messages which clutter the build for example on travis CI?

I am in favor of getting rid of them by probably configuring the log config file. Every dev can change the setting locally if needed.

commited a little change to remove log4j logging during tests at

> <https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-5163>

there are still entries like

`INFO 5/6/17 11:53 AM:liquibase: Creating database history table with name: LIQUIBASECHANGELOG`

in the build about liquibase changesets coming from Database1\_9\_7UpgradeIT, would you like them to be removed as well?

If so, anyone knows how they are printed? Dont think they come from log4j

Did you try adding this?

```
<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.mattbertolini</groupId>
	    <artifactId>liquibase-slf4j</artifactId>
	    <version>2.0.0</version>
	    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
```

thanks for the tip @dkayiwa! So awkward that this is needed 😒 At the moment I dont feel like adding this dependency. I mean I am trying to get rid of old, unmaintained dependencies.
