I don't think you should have one technology under your belt.. Learn many. And to answer some of your questions.
Ruby & Rails have testing tools, test:unit, rpsec, cucumber, webrat, shoulda, to name but a few. Why isn't it big in industry? It doesn't really have much commercial support for starters. Sun wrote Java, and spent a lot of $$$ pushing it to the developers. .Net has Windows who did the same thing. Also, each language does what it does great.. Java has a massive amount of libraries and some great minds behind it to build heavy weight industry tools. .Net seamlessly integrate's with Windows. Ruby shares it's space with many other languages. No one language will solve all of the worlds problems.. Is it the right decision to buildup a career in ROR? Well as I said earlier, I think pigeon holing yourself to one language will seriously restrict your movement in the job market. Learn many, be enthusiastic and learn new languages, follow your enthusiasm. The moment I stopped treating "learning a new language" as a task, but instead starting treating it as a bit of fun, I had a more enjoyable time, both at work and in my off time. I'm sure a lot of others on this list will be more insightful then me. But do whatever makes you happy, and your career will be great, is my advice. Good luck.
