Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
⚠️
powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by consistently using Windows-style executable names (e.g., 'handler.exe') in configuration and file structure examples, mentioning Windows executables before Linux equivalents, and omitting explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples or file naming conventions. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform deployment instructions, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows patterns.
Recommendations:
- In all file structure and configuration examples, show both Windows (e.g., 'handler.exe') and Linux/macOS (e.g., 'handler' or './handler') executable naming conventions side by side.
- Explicitly mention that the 'defaultExecutablePath' can be set to platform-specific executables, and provide examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
- Wherever a command or tool is referenced (such as deployment with Azure Functions Core Tools), include both PowerShell/Windows Command Prompt and Bash/Linux/macOS equivalents.
- Add a section or callouts that clarify any platform-specific behaviors or requirements, such as file permissions for executables on Linux/macOS.
- Provide at least one end-to-end example (including file structure, configuration, and deployment) that is explicitly shown for Linux/macOS users.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology or file extensions as the default; instead, use neutral or dual-platform examples (e.g., 'handler.exe' and 'handler').
