Error `'coroutine' object is not subscriptable` when using `jupyter-fs==0.4.0` with `jupytext`

[mwouts]

With the recent release of jupyter-fs==0.4.0 two tests in jupytext started failing with the error 'coroutine' object is not subscriptable.

Apparently the issue is when Jupytext tries to load a configuration file using the contents manager: https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/actions/runs/6731638986/job/18296993244#step:8:453

Let me know if you see what could be the cause for this. Thanks

I moved it to async contents managers, https://github.com/jpmorganchase/jupyter-fs/commit/aeebe6fd3acfdc374e90dfb9b102fb1516a39200#diff-d599eec819a1aa6275f09579454402bbf5af9a9147256bad279aec31929774b5

I see, thanks for the confirmation.

What happens is that I am not sure when I will be able to make Jupytext compatible with async contents managers - the impact on the code and test collection is very significant, and I've not seen much demand for that yet. I will let https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/1150 open until I can do something but that might take a while. Thanks

I can probably provide a sync contents manager, we don’t make any async calls yet

Oh yes that would be very helpful indeed! That's probably the most easy way to restore the compatibility between our two projects. Happy to give it a try when you have a dev version ready. Thanks
