You've not specified the type for the mention parameter - by default this is a string (hence your error that "str has no attribute mentions"). The first arg to discord.Option should be the type of the option - the library will then convert that and allow you to select mentionables when using the slash command and you'll have a mentionable object type in the code when the slash command is used. Perhaps consider re-reading this section in the guides.

@bot.slash_command(name = "test", description = "testing command")
async def test(
    ctx,
    mention: discord.Option(
        discord.SlashCommandOptionType.mentionable,
        name="mention",
        description="mention.",
        required=True
    )
):
    # whatever you want to do with that here
