Summary
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools shows evidence of Windows bias. The reference to the main executable as 'func.exe' in the title and description suggests a Windows-centric perspective. There is explicit mention of PowerShell as a supported worker runtime and managed dependencies, but no equivalent mention of Bash or other Linux shells. Some features (such as local encryption of settings and log streaming) are noted as not supported for Linux in certain plans, but Linux alternatives or workarounds are not described. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific examples, nor does it mention cross-platform nuances (e.g., file paths, shell commands) that would help Linux users. Windows tools and patterns (such as .NET Framework 4.8, .pfx certificates, and the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator) are referenced without Linux equivalents or alternatives, and these references often appear before any mention of Linux support.
Recommendations
- Update the title and description to reference the cross-platform nature of Core Tools (e.g., 'func' or 'func.exe' as appropriate for OS).
- Provide Linux-specific examples and notes, such as using Bash, Linux file paths, and Linux-compatible certificate formats.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-only tools (e.g., recommend Azurite instead of Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator for local storage emulation).
- Document any limitations or differences for Linux users, and provide workarounds or alternatives where features are not supported.
- Ensure parity in examples and instructions, giving equal prominence to Linux and macOS usage alongside Windows.
- Clarify cross-platform support for features like encryption, log streaming, and Docker integration, and note any OS-specific requirements.
