Python pycord: AttributeError: 'ApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'selected_options'

Question

I have 2 commands: test and send_arg. During the execution of the test command, it becomes necessary to receive data from the send_arg command.

I'm waiting for the send_arg command to be called via wait_for, and I pass the context to test to get the argument passed to send_arg.

But when I try to get the selected_options property, I get an error.

AttributeError: 'ApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'selected_options'

At the same time, looking at the documentation, I was convinced that such a property definitely exists.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.commands import Option

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.slash_command()
async def send_arg(ctx, arg: Option(str, choices=['var1', 'var2', 'var3'], required=True)):
    pass

@bot.slash_command()
async def test(ctx):

    def check(context):
        return context.author == ctx.author

    app_cmd_ctx = await bot.wait_for('application_command', check=check)
    print(app_cmd_ctx.selected_options)

bot.run(TOKEN)

py-cord version:

pip install py-cord==2.0.0b1

Explanation

ApplicationContext.selected_options does not exist in pycord versions before version 2.0 beta 5. To fix your error, you can either update pycord to this version using pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord.

If you need to use version 2.0 beta 1 or any other version prior to beta 5, you can replace ApplicationContext.selected_options with the following code:

Code

ApplicationContext.interaction.data.get("options", None)
