Why keybindings in my neovim LSP configuration file does not working?

local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()

local status_ok, cmp_nvim_lsp = pcall(require, "cmp_nvim_lsp")
if not status_ok then
  return
end

M.capabilities = cmp_nvim_lsp.update_capabilities(capabilities)

return M

This file is part of my lspconfig. LSP itself seems to set up correctly because when I run lua vim.lsp.buf.hover() it works, the problem is that the same command does not work with the keybinding which is declared in this file. None of these keybindings seem to be working. I can't understand what is the problem, any help would be appreciated.

It depends on what version of NeoVim you are using. If you are running 0.7 you can change your call

vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(bufnr, ...

for

vim.keymap.set(mode, shortcut, command, opts)

This API allows an additional parameter in opts buffer, if you set this value to true or 1 it assigns the current buffer to it, or in your situation, you can assign bufnr to the buffer opts parameter.

So for the example, you are trying to run, you could write

vim.keymap.set('n', 'K', vim.lsp.buf.hover, { buffer = bufnr, noremap = true, silent = true })

Also, you should configure the on_attach and capabilities for each of the configurations of your LSP.

e.g. :

require('lspconfig')['pyright'].setup {
  on_attach = on_attach,
  capabilities = capabilities,
}

What you are currently doing from my understanding without the context on how this lua file is called, is returning as the setup configuration of lspconfig the on_attach and capabilities function without assigning it to any configuration.
