Inspite of thus being encouraged and examined in religiosity by Lord Krishna for killing the son of Dronacharya, Arjuna himself a great soul did not like the idea of killing him although he was a heinous murderer of his family members.

Arjuna was a great soul undoubtedly which is proved here also. He is encouraged herein personally by the Lord in the matter of killing the son of Drona but Arjuna considers the right path that the son of his great teacher may be spared for the only qualification that he happens to be the son of Dronacharya and even though he is an unworthy son of a great family. He has had done all sorts of heinous acts whimsically for no one's benefit.
#$p#Lord Sri Krishna encouraged Arjuna outwardly just to test Arjuna's sense of duty. It is not that Arjuna was incomplete in the sense of his duty neither it is that Lord Sri Krishna was unware of Arjuna's sense of duty. But it is just to manifest the faith in duty of a pure devotee of the Lord, Lord Sri Krishna put to test many of His pure devotees just to magnify the sense of duty of such pure devotees. The Gopis were also put to such test as well as Prahalad Moharaj also was put to such test. But all such pure devotees came out successful in the respective tests by the Lord.

Sūta Gosvāmī said: Although Kṛṣṇa, who was examining Arjuna in religion, encouraged Arjuna to kill the son of Droṇācārya, Arjuna, a great soul, did not like the idea of killing him, although Aśvatthāmā was a heinous murderer of Arjuna's family members.

#$p#Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa encouraged Arjuna outwardly just to test Arjuna's sense of duty. It is not that Arjuna was incomplete in the sense of his duty, nor was Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa unaware of Arjuna's sense of duty. But Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa put to test many of His pure devotees just to magnify the sense of duty. The #i#gopīs#/i# were put to such tests as well. Prahlāda Mahārāja also was put to such a test. All pure devotees come out successful in the respective tests by the Lord.
