Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows/Powershell bias. Powershell commands and Windows-centric tools (such as AzPowershell, Azure PowerShell, and .NET/NUnit with C#) are used or referenced frequently, sometimes without equivalent Linux/bash alternatives. Powershell is used in both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines examples, and the use of 'PowerShell@2' and 'pscore' script types further reinforce this. There are no explicit bash or Linux shell command examples, and Windows/PowerShell tools are often mentioned first or exclusively, especially for authentication and setup steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash or sh equivalents for all PowerShell commands and scripts, especially for steps like authentication, dependency installation, and running Playwright tests.
  • Include Linux/macOS CLI examples (e.g., using Azure CLI instead of Azure PowerShell) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Clarify when a step is cross-platform and when it is Windows-specific; avoid implying that PowerShell is required on Linux runners.
  • For .NET/NUnit sections, mention that .NET Core is cross-platform and provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions where relevant.
  • In workflow YAML examples, show both PowerShell and bash script blocks, or use shell-agnostic commands where possible.
  • Review all references to Windows tools and ensure Linux-native alternatives are documented and easy to find.
