Testing infrastructure (@capture_logging) can't use custom JSON encoders #456

Closed itamarst closed 3 years ago

If you have a custom JSON encoder, and you try to test your log messages, your tests will fail because the MemoryLogger code path always encodes with the plain-vanilla JSON encoder.

Given FileDestination supports a custom JSON encoder, this is a problem.
