Corona SDK: storyboard.gotoScene with effect

I am trying to use the effect slideLeft when transitioning between my menu storyboard and a storyboard called "search".

The scenechange works, however there is no effect applied to the transition. Or.. there is no transition at all. The new scene just appear.

What am i missing here?

Thanks.

local function goToPage(event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
    changeButtonIndentation()
    local nextSceneName = "pages." .. event.target.name
    if (storyboard.getCurrentSceneName() ~= nextSceneName) then
        print("From page: " .. storyboard.getCurrentSceneName())
        print("To page: " ..nextSceneName)

        local options =
        {
            effect = "slideLeft",
            time = 1000
        }
        storyboard.gotoScene("pages.search", options)
        currentActivePage = event.target.name
        print(event.target.name)
    end
end
changeButtonIndentation()
end

EDIT: So appearently the options work. If i increase the time parameter of options i notice that some buttons are unclickable for 1 sec on the search storyboard. However the effect is not working.

One common misstake is that you forget to add your view elements to the self.view group. Often, storyboard templates includes local group = self.view at the beginning of the scene:createScene function. Try to insert your view objects into that group.

The main reason why there would be no transitions is if you're creating the scene in the enterScene() function instead of the createScene() function.

Try to test first if it's not a build bug. Go to Help -> Sample projects and open Storyboard sample. If you see transition then the problem is in your code.

So try this semplified code:

local function goToPage(event)
    if (event.phase == "ended") then
        local options =
        {
            effect = "slideLeft",
            time = 1000
        }
        storyboard.gotoScene("pages.search", options)
    end
    return true
end
