StructuredLoggingJsonMembersCustomizer implementations declared in spring.factories with a generic type more specific than Object are not called

package com.example;

import org.springframework.boot.json.JsonWriter.Members;
import org.springframework.boot.logging.structured.StructuredLoggingJsonMembersCustomizer;

public class MyCustomizer implements StructuredLoggingJsonMembersCustomizer<String> {

	@Override
	public void customize(Members<String> members) {
		members.add("test", "value");

	}

}

package com.example;

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtendWith;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.boot.test.system.CapturedOutput;
import org.springframework.boot.test.system.OutputCaptureExtension;

@SpringBootTest
@ExtendWith(OutputCaptureExtension.class)
public class MyCustomizerTests {

	@Test
	void test(CapturedOutput output) {
		assertThat(output).contains("{\"@timestamp\""); // structured logging is working
		assertThat(output).contains("\"test\":\"value\""); // MyCustomizer is working
	}
}

test failed with:

Thanks for the sample, @quaff. The problem's due to generics and the use of LambdaSafe to invoke the customizer. It will work if you change your customizer to implement StructuredLoggingJsonMembersCustomizer<Object>. The problem doesn't occur when using logging.structured.json.customizer to declare the customizer as StructuredLoggingJsonPropertiesJsonMembersCustomizer doesn't use LambdaSafe to invoke the customizer.

Is it by design that logging.structured.json.customizer doesn't accept multiple Customizers like spring.factories? @wilkinsona

Sorry, I don't remember. Do you, @philwebb or @mhalbritter?

[mhalbritter]

No, sorry, I don't know.
