Description

Building a cordova app using Ionic.
Loading a URL in webview using inappbrowser plugin but none of the events like loadstart, loadstop get fired.

This is my app.js

 var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://www.google.com','_self', 'location=no')

          ref.addEventListener('loadstart', function (event) {
            console.log('loadstart fired');
          }, false);

          ref.addEventListener('loadstop', function (event) {
            console.log('loadstop fired');
          }, false);

          ref.addEventListener('loaderror', function (event) {
            console.log('loadstop fired');
          }, false);

          ref.addEventListener('exit', function (event) {
            console.log('exit fired');
          }, false);

CSP in index.html

 
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' data: gap: https://ssl.gstatic.com; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *">

Console output is blank when _self is used

Note: The events fire when target _blank is used.
