Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Visual Studio, a primarily Windows-based IDE, and assumes the use of Windows tooling and workflows throughout. All examples, instructions, and screenshots are based on Visual Studio UI, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives such as Visual Studio Code or command-line workflows. Package installation is shown only via the Visual Studio Package Manager Console (PowerShell), and there are no CLI or Linux-native instructions. Remote debugging and publishing steps are described exclusively for Visual Studio, with no guidance for Linux or macOS users. The use of the Azurite emulator is mentioned, but only in the context of Visual Studio integration. There is no mention of how to perform equivalent tasks on Linux or macOS, nor are there any Bash or cross-platform CLI examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for developing, running, and debugging Azure Functions using Visual Studio Code and/or CLI tools, which are cross-platform.
- Include examples of installing NuGet packages using the dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package ...') alongside PowerShell/Package Manager Console commands.
- Add guidance for running and debugging Azure Functions projects using Azure Functions Core Tools on Linux/macOS, including relevant terminal commands.
- Offer instructions for publishing and managing app settings using the Azure CLI or Azure Functions Core Tools, not just Visual Studio UI.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
- Clearly indicate which steps are Windows/Visual Studio-specific and provide links or sections for cross-platform alternatives.
