If you use
getDocs(con)
it should work, assuming auth and con are appropriate.
Where did you see that
con$getDocs()
should work?
In the documentation file run.xml, there is the line
"
In the future, we might provide an interface that avoids this such
as
con$getDocs()
...
"
So, as it says, it is in the future.
