cannot load such file -- amazing_print (LoadError)

Hi,

I'm updating my Ougai version from (1.8.2 to 1.8.5 or 2.0.0), I have Ougai in my Gemfile. Trying to load my application it breaks complaining that amazing_print isn't available. We added awesome_print to our Gemfile back in the days to make ougai work. Now we are adding amazing_print to solve the issue again.

My class looks like:

class FooReadable < Ougai::Formatters::Readable
 ...
 end

I see that in your gemspec you require amazing_print just in the test group.. isn't that a problem? Shouldn't it be loaded in all groups?

When your application runs in the production environment, you expect the logs as JSON, so amazing_print is not necessary.
For example, in Rails, for applying readable logger to config.logger in development and test environments, amazing_print must be defined in their gem groups.

Hey @tilfin, thank you for your reply. Indeed my first try was to add the amazing_print just to the development, test groups and it worked for me, in development and test mode. I will investigate it further, thank you 👍
