ionic state go prevents side menu from being displayed

Question

I'm using the slide menu built in example in Ionic. When I redirect the to the home page from any page (with $location or $state.go), the menu is disabled. It cannot be displayed any longer.

$state.go('app.home');
$location.path('/#/app/home');

Any idea what's happening?

Here's the menu template

<ion-side-menus>

    <ion-side-menu-content drag-content="true">
        <ion-nav-bar class="bar-dark">
            <ion-nav-back-button>
            </ion-nav-back-button>

            <ion-nav-buttons side="left">
                <button class="button button-icon button-clear ion-navicon" menu-toggle="left">
                </button>
            </ion-nav-buttons>
        </ion-nav-bar>

        <ion-nav-view name="menuContent"></ion-nav-view>
    </ion-side-menu-content>

    <ion-side-menu side="left">
        <ion-header-bar class="bar-light">
        <h1 class="title">Title</h1>
        </ion-header-bar>
        <ion-content>
            <ion-list>
                <ion-item menu-close href="#/app/login">
                    Login
                </ion-item>
                <ion-item menu-close href="#/app/account">
                    Account
                </ion-item>
                <ion-item menu-close href="#/app/logout">
                    Logout
                </ion-item>
            </ion-list>
        </ion-content>
    </ion-side-menu>

</ion-side-menus>

And this is the config of the app

$stateProvider

        .state('app', {
            url: "/app",
            abstract: true,
            templateUrl: "templates/menu.html"
        })

        .state('app.home', {
            url: "/home",
            views: {
                'menuContent@app': {
                    templateUrl: "modules/home/views/home.html",
                    controller: 'HomeCtrl'
                }
            }
        });

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/app/home');
