There is absolutely no reason why a pattern given to grep to find 'warning: --stdin is deprecated' must be quoted within a pair of single quotes, or the pattern to look for the literal string as ERE. Quote the test body with a pair of single quotes like everybody else, and quote the needle string in a pair of double quotes. Also use test_grep instead of "grep -E".
