Summary
The documentation is heavily PowerShell-centric, requiring PowerShell on all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) to use the ARM template test toolkit. All usage examples, including installation, running tests, and custom test creation, are provided only in PowerShell. There are no examples or guidance for using native Linux/macOS shells (bash/zsh), nor are alternative tools or patterns mentioned for those platforms. The toolkit itself is a set of PowerShell scripts, which may present friction for Linux/macOS users who do not typically use PowerShell.
Recommendations
- Provide bash/zsh examples for common tasks (e.g., extracting zip files, navigating directories) alongside PowerShell commands.
- Clarify if the toolkit can be run with native shell scripting or if PowerShell is strictly required; if so, explain why.
- Offer guidance or links for integrating the toolkit into Linux/macOS CI/CD environments that may not use PowerShell.
- Mention any limitations or known issues when running PowerShell scripts on Linux/macOS, and provide troubleshooting tips.
- Consider developing or linking to cross-platform alternatives or wrappers for the toolkit.
