Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. Visual Studio Code is referenced as the only supported authoring environment, and all code/project examples use .NET Core and NuGet, which are cross-platform but traditionally Windows-centric in Azure contexts. The installation instructions and output examples are heavily focused on PowerShell, with explicit PowerShell commands and scripts (add-extension.ps1) given first and in detail, including Windows-style file paths and output. Bash instructions are only briefly mentioned and are dependent on PowerShell, requiring users to invoke PowerShell scripts from Bash, which is not native to Linux environments. There are no native Linux shell (bash-only) examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns discussed.
Recommendations
  • Provide native Bash/Linux shell instructions for installing and managing extensions, not just PowerShell scripts invoked from Bash.
  • Include Linux/MacOS file path examples alongside Windows paths in code/output snippets.
  • Clarify whether Visual Studio Code authoring is supported on Linux/MacOS, and if so, provide explicit guidance for those platforms.
  • Offer parity in troubleshooting and workflow steps for Linux users, such as how to terminate running processes (func.exe) on Linux/MacOS.
  • If PowerShell scripts are required, offer alternative bash scripts or document how to install PowerShell Core on Linux and use it.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for all tools and steps, and avoid assuming a Windows environment by default.
