Addon Test: Fix printing Date object in MethodCall for test/interactions log

[ghengeveld]

Closes #30503

What I did

Likely due to a change in channel serialization behavior, dates are deserialized back into Date objects which causes the test/interactions log to crash because it expects a date string. I've updated the addons to handle Date objects as well.
