Question

When I run the test “ rspec spec/cart_spec.rb ”In the console, I'll get a warning

    require 'rspec'
    require_relative '../app/item'
    require_relative '../app/virtual_item'
    require_relative '../app/antique_item'
    require_relative '../app/item_container'
    require_relative '../app/cart'

    describe Cart do

      it 'add items into the cart' do
        cart = Cart.new('')
        item1 = Item.new('kettle', price: 200)
        item2 = Item.new('car', price: 200)
        cart.add_items(item1, item2)
        cart.items.should include(item1, item2)
      end

    end

In the console, I'll get a warning

The error says that it can't find the spec file and indeed you're pointing to

spec/cart_spec.rb

... while in the spec directory. To find it from there you need to remove spec/:

rspec cart_spec.rb

My usual practice is to run specs from the app root. From there, your original command should work. Or you can just use an absolute path instead of a relative path.
