Description

Version:

Found this issue with both 3.3.6 and 3.3.8 ( latest )

Environment:

Using this with InSpec and Ruby 3.4.1 on a mac operating system.

Scenario:

Found the issue while running the test suite of InSpec with the following command bundle exec rake test TEST="test/functional/inspec_exec_json_test.rb".
It throws continuous warnings when upgrading Ruby version on 3.4.1 with this gem.

Please ignore the minitest warning, and only look at the one getting from mixlib-shellout.

Research direction

Reproduce the warning with Ruby 3.4.1 using bundle exec rake test TEST="test/functional/inspec_exec_json_test.rb" in InSpec, focusing on the warning attributed to mixlib-shellout rather than the minitest warning. Trace the warning to the gem code and update the affected usage so the test run no longer emits literal string will be frozen in the future.
