Error on Neovim startup: attempt to index field 'dynamic_capabilities' (a nil value)

After this commit, I get this error when starting up Neovim:

Error detected while processing LspAttach Autocommands for "*":

I'm using nvim_cmp and copilot.lua.

Not entirely sure what the commit was aiming for since I didn't take much time to look but changing line 29 in the source.lua file does the trick:

return client.id == self.client.id

instead of

return client.dynamic_capabilities.client_id == self.client.id

The breaking commit was a PR merge, I tested it and didn't get any errors, so not sure what happened. I made this edit which removes all references to dynamic capabilities so that should fix things.

@zbirenbaum Thanks for the quick fix! I really appreciate the work you put into these Copilot plugins. I use them constantly and the AI completions save me so much time.

Yes, thank you for the quick fix. This copilot lazy setup saves so much manual config. Very much appreciated.
