Sublime Test 2 RubyTest not showing any results - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am following the Ruby on Rails Tutorial. When testing RubyTest (CMD+Shift+R; CMD+Shift+T; CMD+Shift+E) in Sublime Text 2, nothing shows up. The window opens below my files where the tests should be, and it says "Building", but then the "Building" disappears and nothing is left. No test, no green, red, nothing.
I have added RubyTest as described, as well as opened from Command Line as outlined. Need more help troubleshooting.
Using OSX Lion, Ruby 1.9.3, Rails 3.2.10. My Guard and Spork testing are fine. My RubyTest settings are as per RubyTest.sublime-settings
Any thoughts or places to start? I'm pretty new to this, but damn stubborn so I would like to solve as oppose to just "move on". Thanks in advance.

I think I might have the right solution for you, as I've just run into the same problem and solved it.
First, find out what's causing the "Building..." error with RubyTest by digging into the Sublime Text 2 console (View > Show Console).
This was my console output:
Running rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb -l15
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 337, in run_
File "./exec.py", line 154, in run
File "./exec.py", line 45, in __init__
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 72: ordinal not in range(128)
reloading /Users/Jonathan/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/RubyTest.last-run
Taken from here, it turns out ST2 tries to evaluate all shell expressions.
From the same link, here's how I fixed it: go to Library > Application Support > Sublime Text 2 > Packages > Default and edit exec.py starting at the for loop at line 45:
for k, v in proc_env.iteritems():
path_vars = os.path.expandvars(v)
if isinstance(path_vars, unicode):
path_vars = path_vars.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())
proc_env[k] = path_vars
Hope this solved your problem!
