Rspec tests passing when they should be failing

I'm doing the RoR Tutorial from Michael Hartl. I am just starting to write some tests, and when I run:

 bundle exec rspec spec\requests\static_pages_spec.rb

I get no output at all:

 C:\Wamp\www\demo_app>bundle exec rspec spec\requests\static_pages_spec.rb
 C:\Wamp\www\demo_app>

I've looked around for an answer, I tried changing the version of rspec I'm using to different versions and doing bundle install over again, but I just don't get any output at all from tests that should be failing.

Any ideas what this is about?

Edit: This is what's in my .rspec file:

--color

And this is my Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.9'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5' 
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.11.0'
end

group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 3.2.3'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'
  gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end

gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.2'

group :test do
  gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
end

group :production do
  gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
end

It works when I run:

rake spec

Instead of:

bundle exec rspec spec\requests\static_pages_spec.rb

Make sure you added rspec-rails to both :development and :test environment, as in the example in Chapter 3 of the tutorial:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.11.0'
end
