Beamer handout option with \AtBeginSection

Question

I am using \AtBeginSection to produce a table of contents for my Beamer presentation that appears at the beginning of each section. However, when I pass the handout option to beamer to make a copy of slides for my class to print the ToC slide disappears from the output.

Is there a way to maintaint the \AtBeginSection output at the start of each section while also producing handouts with one frame per PDF page?

Here's a MWE:

\documentclass[handout]{beamer}

\AtBeginSection[]  
{
\begin{frame}<beamer> 
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[currentsection]  
\end{frame}
}
\begin{document}
\section{test section}

\begin{frame}
test slide
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Answer 1

You are using the following line:

\begin{frame}<beamer>

which says that the frame should only be shown in beamer mode, which does not include the handout. If you want it to be visible on a handout, remove that specification.

Note: If that is to prevent the frame from being printed in article mode you can add another specification.
