Cause (Documented platform behavior): Gymnasium 1.0 removed Wrapper.__getattr__ forwarding (deprecated in v0.29) in favor of explicit get_wrapper_attr / set_wrapper_attr; Env and VectorEnv also stopped inheriting from each other and some wrappers were removed (monitoring.VideoRecorder, StepAPICompatibility).
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Setting attributes on the outer wrapper (did not propagate to the base env even in 0.29)
Limitations:
- No downstream traceback fetched; plain AttributeError wording for direct attribute access is standard Python, not quoted
Other error fragments:
- wrapper {self.class_name()} has no attribute {name!r}
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Farama-Foundation/Gymnasium/v0.29.1/gymnasium/core.py (official_docs, 2023, documented_behavior): 0.29.1 Wrapper.__getattr__ warns 'env.{name} to get variables from other wrappers is deprecated and will be removed in v1.0, to get this variable you can do env.unwrapped.{name} ... or env.get_wrapper_attr('{name}')'.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Farama-Foundation/Gymnasium/694e9124d734bbbfe25cd0cd550ff44077b14afc/gymnasium/core.py (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Current Wrapper has no __getattr__; get_wrapper_attr walks the stack and raises AttributeError(f"wrapper {self.class_name()} has no attribute {name!r}") when absent.
- https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Gymnasium/releases/tag/v1.0.0 (release_notes, 2024-10, documented_behavior): v1.0.0: Wrapper.__getattr__ (deprecated in v0.29) replaced by get_wrapper_attr; set_wrapper_attr added; VideoRecorder and StepAPICompatibility removed; Env/VectorEnv separated with vector wrappers in gymnasium.wrappers.vector.
Search phrasings: gymnasium 1.0 wrapper has no attribute; gymnasium get_wrapper_attr migration; env.unwrapped attribute gymnasium 1.0 AttributeError TimeLimit

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Code that worked with 0.29 (printing only a deprecation warning) raises AttributeError on the outer wrapper after upgrading; setting attributes on the wrapper silently did not affect the base env before.
- Context
- Product: Gymnasium Component: gymnasium.core.Wrapper (__getattr__ removed) Operation: Accessing custom env attributes or methods (env.gravity, env.ale, env.get_action_meanings(), env.state) through gym.make() wrappers in RL code, SB3/RLlib callbacks or eval scripts Affected versions: gymnasium>=1.0.0 (deprecated in 0.29) Environment: unknown Exception: AttributeError Packages: gymnasium >=1.0.0 Trigger: env = gym.make(...); env.some_env_attribute or env.custom_method() where the attribute exists only on the base env or an inner wrapper.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Gymnasium 1.0] Wrapped env no longer forwards attributes: env.<attr> on a TimeLimit/OrderEnforcing stack raises AttributeError (0.29 warned 'env.<attr> to get variables from other wrapp
Recommended action: Use env.unwrapped.<attr> for base-env attributes or env.get_wrapper_attr('<attr>') to search the wrapper stack; env.set_wrapper_attr('<attr>', value) to set. Upgrade RL libraries to Gymnasium-1.0-compatible releases.
