provider.getTransaction hangs for contract deploy transactions

[zemse]

Ethers Beta Version

6.0.0-beta.9

Describe the Problem

While deploying contracts using the sendTransaction way:

const tx = await signer.sendTransaction({
  data: "0x" + json.evm.bytecode.object,
});

I noticed that this promise doesn't resolve. When looked into rpc logs, saw that it does an eth_getTransactionByHash call and I tried that which gave me an error. Please see the code snippet on which this error can be reproduced with a mainnet contract deployment tx hash.

Code Snippet

const provider = new AlchemyProvider();
console.log(
  await provider.getTransaction(
    "0xa4e10b0578187107bf533d0a6c1106c79cc9ce91a1fd662961d9b2a97c80634b"
  )
);
