Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides environment variable setup instructions for Windows, Linux, and macOS, but presents the Windows instructions first. It also references Windows-specific tools and editors (e.g., Visual Studio) in the context of restarting after environment variable changes, without mentioning Linux or macOS equivalents. No PowerShell-specific commands are present, and Linux/macOS examples are included, but Windows is prioritized in ordering and tool references.
Recommendations:
  • Rotate or randomize the order of platform-specific tabs (Windows, Linux, macOS) to avoid always presenting Windows first.
  • When referencing the need to restart editors or terminals, include examples for popular Linux (e.g., VS Code, GNOME Terminal) and macOS editors/terminals, not just Visual Studio.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language (e.g., 'your editor or IDE') instead of naming only Windows-centric tools.
  • Ensure that all platform-specific instructions are equally detailed and visible, and avoid implying Windows is the default or primary environment.

Flagged Code Snippets

To set the value, use the option for your environment. #### [Windows](#tab/windows)
> [!NOTE] > If you only need to access the environment variable in the current running console, set the environment variable with `set` instead of `setx`. After you add the environment variables, you might need to restart any running programs that need to read the environment variable, including the console window. For example, if you're using Visual Studio as your editor, restart Visual Studio before running the example. #### [Linux](#tab/linux)
The following example shows the ARM template named `storage.json` that you're deploying:
