State transition animation with side menu

Hi. I’m building a small app with a home state from which I switch to a second state. My home state contains a side menu so its root element is a <ion-side-menus> tag. The problem is that when I switch between the home state and the second state the animation doesn’t works, it just switch in a blink. If I remove the <ion-side-menus> and use another tag like <div> or <ion-content> it animates fine. So how can I make the animation happen with a <ion-side-menus> in my state?
