If you use

getDocs(con)

it should work, assuming auth and con are appropriate.

Where did you see that

con$getDocs()

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.
