Summary
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools shows moderate Windows bias. It refers to the tool as 'func.exe' in the description, which is a Windows-specific executable extension. The '--managed-dependencies' option is noted as only supported for the PowerShell worker runtime, which is most commonly used on Windows. Several sections reference Windows-specific tools or patterns, such as the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator (Windows-only), and mention creating trusted certificates 'on your computer' for HTTPS, which is a Windows-centric phrasing. In the 'func azure functionapp logstream' section, it is explicitly stated that streaming logs are 'not yet supported for Linux' in certain plans, with no workaround or parity for Linux users. The documentation also tends to mention Windows tools and behaviors before Linux equivalents, and does not provide Linux/macOS-specific examples or alternatives where features are missing.
Recommendations
- Replace references to 'func.exe' with 'func' to reflect cross-platform usage.
- Where features are Windows-only (e.g., Storage Emulator, logstream on Linux), provide Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds, or explicitly state the limitation and link to feature requests.
- Add Linux/macOS-specific examples and notes throughout, especially where behaviors differ (e.g., certificate creation for HTTPS, storage emulation).
- Ensure that documentation does not assume Windows as the default environment (e.g., clarify file paths, shell commands, and tool availability).
- When listing options or features, avoid putting Windows-specific ones first unless they are most widely used cross-platform.
