Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is the sole development environment mentioned for creating and running Azure Functions. Instructions for setting environment variables list Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell before Linux/macOS equivalents. The workflow relies on Visual Studio features (F5, debugging, firewall prompts) and references Azure Functions Core Tools in the context of Visual Studio, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives like VS Code or CLI-only workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and running Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Present environment variable setting commands in a neutral order (e.g., group by OS or present Linux/macOS first in some sections).
  • Include explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users for all steps, such as debugging, running, and testing the function locally.
  • Reference cross-platform editors and workflows (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider) alongside Visual Studio.
  • Clarify that Azure Functions Core Tools can be used independently of Visual Studio and provide CLI-based steps.
  • Ensure screenshots and examples are not exclusively from Windows environments.
