Summary
The documentation page for Azure Functions Core Tools exhibits several signs of Windows bias. The reference to the tool as 'func.exe' in the description and the repeated mention of PowerShell as a supported worker runtime suggest a Windows-centric perspective. There is a lack of explicit Linux or macOS examples, and Windows-specific tools such as the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator are referenced without Linux alternatives. Instructions and notes often assume Windows environments (e.g., trusted certificate creation, .pfx files) and do not provide parity guidance for Linux users. Furthermore, the order of runtime and tooling references tends to prioritize Windows technologies over Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for commands, including shell syntax and environment-specific notes.
- Reference the tool as 'func' or 'Azure Functions Core Tools' rather than 'func.exe' to avoid Windows-centric naming.
- When mentioning PowerShell, also highlight Bash or other Linux-native scripting options where relevant.
- Include information about Linux-compatible storage emulators (such as Azurite) wherever the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator is mentioned.
- Clarify certificate handling and trusted certificate creation steps for Linux/macOS users, including alternative workflows.
- Ensure that runtime and tooling lists do not prioritize Windows technologies; present cross-platform options equally.
- Add troubleshooting or setup notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., file permissions, Docker installation, .NET SDK installation).
