[young girder]

Error while accessing dropdown values: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'values'

[young girder]

#1343555553653162035 message

[hexed otter]

yeah ik but even if i rectify that i still get Error while accessing dropdown values: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'values'

@young girder so how can i rectify the issue? 🙂

[young girder]

yeah

for the third time

the values aren't on the interaction

they're on the select object itself

[hexed otter]

ohhhhhh.

[young girder]

hence the reason i linked docs here

[hexed otter]

sorry sorry

[young girder]

no problem

[hexed otter]

im abit slow

[hexed otter]

let me see if that fixes it

[young girder]

it happens

[hexed otter]

same error again 😭

the new code

[fluid rover]

Click here to see this code in our pastebin.

[young girder]

you shouldnt be printing exceptions by the way

[hexed otter]

yeah iknow 😭

[young girder]

so why do it?

you also havent provided an exception

[hexed otter]

im not the best im still learning py so bare with me 😭

[young girder]

also manually binding a callback is the wrong way to do it

subclass Button and override instead

and this doesn't look right: ```py
async def select_category(self, select: Select, interaction: discord.Interaction):

what library are you using?

oh wait dpy

[hexed otter]

yeahh 🙂

[young girder]

other way around

your parameters are backwards

dpy gives them as select_category(interaction, object)

[hexed otter]

YESS

thankyou!

i sorted it

[young girder]

so the interaction goes to select and object goes to interaction

alright cool

pretty sure the docs mentions this

!d discord.ui.select

[fluid rover]

discord.ui.select

@discord.ui.select(*, cls=discord.ui.select.Select[typing.Any], options=..., channel_types=..., placeholder=None, custom_id=..., min_values=1, max_values=1, disabled=False, default_values=..., row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a select menu to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) you receive and the chosen select class.

To obtain the selected values inside the callback, you can use the `values` attribute of the chosen class in the callback. The list of values will depend on the type of select menu used. View the table below for more information.
