Get Channel always none

[HerrHase]

I don't get it, all works, i can see events in "on_message", but when i try to get a specifiy channel, anywhere in the code, the channel is always "none". Public Channels and Private Channels they seems to not exists.

client = discord.Client()
channel = client.get_channel(12345678)

get_x and utils.get both return None if they can't find anything matching.
Common causes include:
• Wrong key
◦ Remember, IDs are ints, not strings
◦ If you're trying to copy an emoji ID, right-clicking the emoji in a message will copy message ID
• Bot not logged in, and trying to grab objects from cache
◦ Subvairant, using two client objects. See:?tag botclient
• Bot cannot "see" the object.
◦ It has to be on the server, share a server with the member, etc
◦ If you're sharded on separate processes, each process will only have objects for that shard.
• Objects retuned by fetch_x will not have a populated cache.

Also there is a great place for you to ask questions, at https://discord.gg/dpy - let's join and you can question there. Not here, sorry.

There is a reason the issue template for bug reports asks for a full traceback and reproduction steps.
Without the actual code you're running or a reproducible example (MCVE/SSCCE) of what you're trying, it's impossible to determine what your exact issue is. Your provided example will always set channel to None, as 12345678 is not a valid ID.
As explained, you're likely providing an invalid ID or an ID for a channel the client/bot cannot see.

Damn! A little misunderstanding, my script is in a Class and i try this,

#
#
#
#
class MrDoorbell(discord.Client):

    #
    #
    #
    async def on_ready(self):
        client = discord.Client()
        channel = client.get_channel(12345678)

Of course it don't work. Sorry! Now it works fine with self.get_channel() ;-)
