Summary
The documentation exhibits mild Windows bias. In the manual setup section, the Maven plugin configuration explicitly sets the runtime OS to 'windows' without mentioning Linux or macOS alternatives. In the Maven command section, PowerShell and Windows Cmd examples are provided alongside Bash, but Bash is listed first. Visual Studio Code instructions are cross-platform, but screenshots and instructions do not clarify Linux/macOS specifics. Azure Functions Core Tools are referenced generically, but no Linux/macOS installation or troubleshooting notes are given.
Recommendations
  • In the Maven plugin configuration, clarify that the <os>windows</os> setting can be changed to 'linux' or 'mac' for non-Windows deployments, and provide example configurations for those platforms.
  • Add explicit installation instructions and troubleshooting notes for Azure Functions Core Tools on Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions in the Visual Studio Code section mention any platform-specific differences (e.g., keyboard shortcuts, folder dialogs).
  • Provide parity in command-line examples by including Bash, PowerShell, and Cmd equally, and clarify which are for which platforms.
  • Add a note or section on deploying to Linux-based hosting plans in Azure.
