See
MCPE-32874; there also has to be a thunderstorm.As noted above, Channeling only works during a thunderstorm, not when it's merely raining, so this is working as intended. If you meant that it doesn't work during a thunderstorm, please comment below and I'll reopen the report.
It did not work during a thunderstorm for me yesterday. I made a charged creeper farm in an extreme hills biome so I thought that it didn't work because it snowed rather than rained, but I tried it in a mixed forest biome where it was raining and thundering and it still did not work.
Preston Le: I tested in a mixed forest biome and it worked as expected and as described on the wiki.
There are additional prerequisite conditions, namely, the mob must be under open sky and not submerged in water. Are you sure those conditions were satisfied in your farm? If so, I'll reopen the ticket. Please mention if you were using a different version than 1.9.0.
Oh, I'm sorry I forgot that you needed to actually hit a mob with the trident. I was thinking that the lighting would strike on any block you hit, not mob. When I shooted at my creepers I must've somehow missed.
