Summary
The documentation exhibits some Windows bias, including presenting Windows/PowerShell commands before their Linux equivalents, referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns, and occasionally omitting equivalent Linux guidance or examples. While Linux is acknowledged as the Azure Functions runtime environment, troubleshooting and local development instructions often prioritize or assume Windows usage, and some sections lack parity in detail or examples for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Ensure command examples are presented for both Windows and Linux/Unix shells, ideally side-by-side or with equal prominence.
  • Avoid listing Windows/PowerShell commands before Linux equivalents; use tabs or pivots to let users select their OS.
  • Include explicit instructions for Linux environments wherever Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Core Tools, file paths, environment variables).
  • Highlight Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and common issues, especially since Azure Functions runs on Linux.
  • Review all examples and ensure Linux users are not required to infer steps from Windows-centric instructions.
  • Where Windows-only packages (e.g., pywin32) are discussed, provide guidance for Linux alternatives or workarounds.
  • Clarify when instructions or tools are OS-agnostic and when they are not, to avoid confusion for non-Windows users.
