Summary
The documentation shows evidence of Windows bias, particularly in the manual setup section where the default runtime OS is set to 'windows' in the Maven plugin configuration. In the Maven command section, PowerShell and Cmd examples are provided alongside Bash, suggesting a prioritization of Windows environments. Visual Studio Code instructions are generic but the overall tooling (Azure Functions Core Tools, Maven plugin configuration) defaults to Windows. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific configuration or parity, and Linux/MacOS users may need to adapt instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/MacOS environments, including runtime OS configuration in Maven plugin (e.g., <os>linux</os>).
  • Present Bash/Linux examples before or alongside Windows/PowerShell/Cmd examples, rather than after.
  • Clarify cross-platform compatibility of Azure Functions Core Tools and Maven plugin, and provide troubleshooting notes for non-Windows users.
  • Include notes or links for Linux-specific setup steps, such as file permissions, environment variables, and storage connection string handling.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI instructions do not assume Windows-only conventions.
