Description
Version: clippy 0.0.212 (b029042 2019-07-12)

It produces the default output format, only without colors.
Works fine on stable.

Reproduce the regression with cargo clippy -- --error-format=json on the reported nightly and compare it with stable, using the version details in the issue. Trace the Clippy diagnostic-output path to determine why JSON formatting is lost; done means the command emits JSON diagnostics on nightly as it does on stable, with tests covering the behavior.
