Summary
The documentation generally provides cross-platform instructions, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific file extensions (e.g., 'handler.exe') are mentioned before or alongside Linux equivalents. Windows environment variable setting commands are shown after Unix-style commands, but the Windows instructions are sometimes more explicit. The documentation refers to Windows-specific behaviors (such as changing 'defaultExecutablePath' to 'handler.exe' on Windows) and includes Windows command syntax (e.g., 'set GOOS=linux') in separate tabs, but does not provide PowerShell examples or prioritize Windows tools. Linux and macOS instructions are present and generally complete.
Recommendations
  • When referring to executable names, mention the Linux version ('handler') first, or present both at the same time (e.g., 'handler (or handler.exe on Windows)').
  • Instruct users to set the 'defaultExecutablePath' to 'handler' by default, with a note for Windows users to use 'handler.exe' if needed.
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS instructions are always presented before Windows, or group them together to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
  • If possible, provide PowerShell equivalents for Windows commands, or clarify when to use Command Prompt vs. PowerShell.
  • Explicitly state that all examples are cross-platform unless otherwise noted, and highlight any platform-specific differences in a dedicated section.
  • Consider adding a table summarizing key platform differences (e.g., file extensions, environment variable syntax) for quick reference.
