How to make an asynchronous process as synchronous in javascript

I am currently developing a plugin for eslint. I have encountered the following problem. I want to make hot changes to the configuration file, so we are required to make an Http request to get the JSON file with the configuration.

As for the context execution when reading the package.json, and traversing the scripts, when adding async/await, it executes in node the code, but does not return the context response from the context object.

If I do it with callbacks exactly the same thing happens. I leave you the code so that you have a visual idea of the problem.

With Promises using then(), catch(), doesnt works too.

I think that what I am asking for in the JavaScript world is not possible, but by asking I don't lose anything. I understand that the functions like execSync, are native inside the C core written in JavaScript, and that's why they can be executed synchronously.

Thanks and greetings.

'use strict';
const { readFileSync } = require("fs");

  },
  schema: [
    {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        alternatives: {
          type: 'object',
          patternProperties: {
            '^.+$': { type: 'string' }
          }
        }
      },
      additionalProperties: false
    }
  ]
};

const TEST_CONTENT = 'jest';

const isPackageJsonFile = filePath => filePath.includes('package.json');

module.exports = {
  meta,
  create: (context) => {

    return {
      'Program:exit': async node => {
        if (!isPackageJsonFile(context.getFilename())) {
          return;
        }
    const packageJsonRaw = readFileSync(context.getFilename(), 'utf8');
    const packageJson = JSON.parse(packageJsonRaw );

    // Peticion async / await
    const testScript = await httpRequest.getJSONFromURL().test || TEST_CONTENT;

    if (!packageJson.scripts || packageJson.scripts.test !== TEST_CONTENT) {
    context.report({
      message: `Dont allow changes on script "scripts.test" of package.json`,
       node
    }); 
       }     
      }
    }

  }
};

A way to be able to return the result of the http request, like fileReadSync but without callbacks because it doesn't work, is it possible, I can't think how to do it.

The implementation that I have made at the moment, I make use of child_process with curl, with an execSync, and with that I have managed to make it work, but the truth is that I am not convinced at all by this implementation.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
