Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It assumes the use of Visual Studio Code and Azurite (which are cross-platform), but key steps and tooling are presented in a way that prioritizes or assumes Windows environments. For example, instructions for starting Azurite and running/debugging the function app use Visual Studio Code commands and function keys (e.g., F5, Ctrl+C) without mentioning terminal alternatives or Linux/macOS-specific workflows. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell commands or troubleshooting notes for non-Windows users. The documentation also references Core Tools and Azurite without clarifying installation or usage differences across platforms.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users, including alternative commands for starting Azurite and running/debugging the function app (e.g., using terminal commands like `func start` or `azurite` in bash/zsh).
- Clarify that Visual Studio Code, Azurite, and Azure Functions Core Tools are cross-platform, and provide installation links or steps for Linux/macOS.
- When referencing keyboard shortcuts (e.g., F5, Ctrl+C), add notes about how these may differ on macOS (e.g., Cmd+C instead of Ctrl+C) or how to perform the same actions in the terminal.
- Include troubleshooting tips or common issues for Linux/macOS environments, such as permissions, path differences, or dependency installation.
- Ensure that all code and configuration examples (such as file paths, environment variables, and CLI commands) are valid for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
