Summary
The documentation page for Azure Functions Core Tools exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as func.exe and the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator), mentions PowerShell-specific features, and sometimes provides guidance or notes that are Windows-centric. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS examples or parity in tool references, and some features are described with Windows-first language or only mention Windows tools before their Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples alongside or in place of Windows examples, especially where file paths, shell syntax, or environment differences matter.
- Avoid Windows-first language such as referencing 'func.exe'—use 'func' or 'Azure Functions Core Tools' generically.
- When mentioning tools like the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator (Windows-only), always mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Azurite) and provide usage instructions for Linux/macOS.
- For PowerShell-specific features (such as managed dependencies), clarify their scope and provide equivalent guidance for other shells/runtimes where possible.
- Ensure that all instructions and notes are reviewed for platform neutrality, and add platform-specific notes where behavior or requirements differ.
- Include troubleshooting or environment setup notes for Linux/macOS users, especially for dependencies like Docker, .NET SDK, or file permissions.
