Summary
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools is generally cross-platform, but several areas show Windows bias. Windows-specific issues (such as Python packaging on Windows for Linux deployment) are called out, and PowerShell is included as a first-class runtime. However, examples and troubleshooting guidance tend to focus on Windows scenarios, and Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples are often missing or less detailed. In some cases, Windows terminology (e.g., 'func.exe') is used, and commands like certificate creation default to Windows behaviors without clarifying Linux/macOS differences.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows ones, especially for commands that behave differently or require extra steps on non-Windows platforms (e.g., certificate creation, Python packaging).
- Clarify when instructions or defaults differ for Linux/macOS users (e.g., trusted certificate creation with --useHttps, Docker usage).
- Include troubleshooting tips for Linux/macOS users, especially where Windows-specific issues are mentioned (e.g., Python native dependencies).
- Avoid Windows-centric terminology (such as 'func.exe') in cross-platform contexts; use 'func' or 'Azure Functions Core Tools' instead.
- Ensure parity in runtime support documentation (e.g., PowerShell is Windows-centric; clarify Linux/macOS support status).
