Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias primarily through its use of Windows-centric tools and patterns, such as Visual Studio Code and Azurite, without providing explicit Linux alternatives or instructions. The instructions for starting Azurite and running the function app assume Visual Studio Code and its command palette, which is more common on Windows. There are no explicit examples or troubleshooting steps for Linux users, such as using CLI commands outside VS Code or handling permissions and emulator setup on Linux. The documentation also references Core Tools and the Azurite emulator without clarifying cross-platform installation or usage, and does not mention Linux-specific considerations for local development.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions for installing and running Azurite and Azure Functions Core Tools on Linux, including common package managers (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew).
  • Provide CLI-based alternatives for steps currently described via Visual Studio Code command palette (e.g., starting Azurite via npm or CLI).
  • Include troubleshooting notes for Linux users, such as handling file permissions, environment variables, and emulator networking.
  • Clarify that all tools (VS Code, Azurite, Core Tools) are cross-platform and provide links or steps for Linux installation.
  • Where possible, show parity in examples (e.g., bash commands for Linux alongside VS Code instructions).
