Log output error: json: error calling MarshalJSON for type time.Time

[johnhowlett]

If I start chaoskube with the --log-format=json in the log output there is a error:

./chaoskube --log-format=json --excluded-times-of-day="22:00-06:00" --excluded-weekdays=Sat,Sun --excluded-days-of-year=Apr1,Dec24 --labels="foo,bar" --kinds='!DaemonSet' --annotations='a.foo,a.bar'

Also the parameter of the kinds, annotations, labels, ... are not shown in the log output. The program is running fine, it is only the log output that has a error and thas not show all of the input parameters

With adding the String() method to the:

-               "labels":           labelSelector,
-               "annotations":      annotations,
-               "kinds":            kinds,
-               "namespaces":       namespaces,
-               "namespaceLabels":  namespaceLabels,
+               "labels":           labelSelector.String(),
+               "annotations":      annotations.String(),
+               "kinds":            kinds.String(),
+               "namespaces":       namespaces.String(),
+               "namespaceLabels":  namespaceLabels.String(),

and renaming the log field:

-               "timesOfDay": parsedTimesOfDay,
+               "timesOfDay": excludedTimesOfDay, 

I was able to solve the issue, but I'm not sure if this approach is in the spirit of the inventor.
