Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias. In the manual setup section, the default runtime OS in the Maven plugin configuration is set to 'windows', with no mention of Linux alternatives. In the Maven command section, examples for Bash, PowerShell, and Cmd are provided, but PowerShell and Cmd (Windows shells) are listed after Bash, which is positive, but their inclusion may reinforce Windows-centric workflows. Visual Studio Code instructions are cross-platform, but there is no explicit mention of Linux-specific considerations or parity in deployment/runtime configuration. The use of Azure Functions Core Tools is cross-platform, but the documentation does not clarify Linux support or provide Linux-specific troubleshooting or configuration notes.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux support in all relevant sections, especially in runtime configuration (e.g., show how to set <os>linux</os> in the Maven plugin).
  • Provide Linux-specific examples or troubleshooting notes where appropriate, such as file paths, permissions, or shell commands.
  • Balance shell examples by including zsh or other common Linux shells, and clarify that Bash commands work on Linux/macOS.
  • In the Maven plugin configuration, show both Windows and Linux runtime options, or default to a neutral value.
  • Add a note about Azure Functions Core Tools being cross-platform and provide installation instructions for Linux.
  • Ensure that any references to tools or workflows (e.g., Visual Studio Code) clarify their cross-platform nature and provide links to Linux/macOS setup guides.
