Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Visual Studio Code and Azurite usage patterns that are most familiar to Windows users, and by omitting explicit Linux/macOS alternatives for key steps such as starting Azurite or running the function app. The instructions for starting Azurite and debugging the function app use Visual Studio Code commands and shortcuts (e.g., F5, Ctrl+C) without mentioning equivalent CLI commands or shortcuts for Linux/macOS environments. There is also an assumption of familiarity with Windows-style tooling and file paths, and no mention of shell or terminal alternatives for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users, including terminal commands to start Azurite (e.g., `azurite` or `npx azurite`) and to run/debug the function app (e.g., `func start`).
  • Mention keyboard shortcut differences for Visual Studio Code on macOS (e.g., Cmd+F5 instead of F5, Cmd+C instead of Ctrl+C).
  • Where file paths or configuration files are referenced, clarify any differences in path syntax or environment variables for Linux/macOS.
  • Include a note or section summarizing cross-platform compatibility and any required setup steps for Linux/macOS users (such as installing Azurite globally via npm, or using bash/zsh shells).
  • Ensure that all tooling (Azurite, Azure Functions Core Tools) is described in a way that is platform-neutral, and provide installation instructions for each major OS.
