when keras loading model, =missing 1 required positional argument error

i train my model, model_lstm() train code is below.

model = model_lstm(train_X.shape)
ckpt = ModelCheckpoint('weights_{}.h5'.format(idx), save_best_only=True, save_weights_only=True, verbose=1, monitor='val_matthews_correlation', mode='max')
model.fit(train_X[:100,:], train_y[:100], batch_size=10, epochs=10, validation_data=[val_X, val_y], callbacks=[ckpt])

model.save('lstm_model.h5')

next, when i load model, i have problem. i use custom object (attention).

What I'm curious about is that when using a custom object that requires an argument, the keras model is loaded.

I tried various methods such as saving and loading as a dict, but it didn't work.

conv_base = load_model('lstm_model.h5',custom_objects={'Attention':Attention()})

then.. I get the errors like

__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'step_dim'

my attention function is below.
