Hello,

I am wondering why this `getChannel` call keeps hanging, and doesn’t ever return. In a previous attempt, I added a time limit to the call, and it’d just end up failing when it should succeed.

I’m using Amity inside my Unity app, and we have members with `teamId` that refers to the equivalent Amity channel `channelId`.

Below is my code.  
Note that: `userModel.metadata.teamId` is a valid string referring to a real channel in our Amity Console, so I’m not sure why it’s failing:

```auto
const channelData = await new Promise ((resolve) =>
            {
              const searchingChannel = ChannelRepository.getChannel(userModel.metadata.teamId);
              searchingChannel.once('dataUpdated', data => 
              {
                console.log("Searching channel was successful!");
                resolve(data);                
              });
              searchingChannel.once('dataError', error => 
              {
                console.log("Searching channel failed: " + JSON.stringify(error));
                reject(error);
              });
            }).catch((error) => 
            {
              console.log("Searching channel was unsuccessful: " + JSON.stringify(error));
              return null;
            });

```

If you need, I can provide the details as to what `teamId` refers to, and verify that it’s an existing valid channel in my Amity Console.
