No page transitions

I have uninstalled and reinstalled cordova/ionic and created/tested the ionic 2 templates but there still does not seem to be any transitions going from page to page.

The transition seems to be a small fade up when a slide left-to-right transition is expected (this is for back too).

I installed ionic 1.3 and the page transitions work as expected on the test apps.

For test cases I built a simple button:

<button (click)=“goto()”>Click me

linked to:

goto(){
this.nav.push(DetailsPage);
}

I am using both ‘sudo ionic serve’ and ‘sudo ionic run android’ to test.
