Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows command-line conventions (such as backslashes in paths), using Windows-centric tools (like Azurite with a Windows-style debug log path), and omitting explicit Linux/macOS equivalents or clarifications. While most commands are cross-platform, the documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment and does not provide Linux-specific instructions or examples.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS as well as Windows, and provide any necessary differences (e.g., path separators, environment variable syntax).
  • For Azurite, show both Windows and Linux/macOS command examples (e.g., use 'azurite -l azurite -d azurite/debug.log' for Linux/macOS).
  • Clarify that the Azure Functions Core Tools and Azurite are cross-platform, and provide installation links or instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • If referencing file paths (such as in 'local.settings.json'), note the default locations on both Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Add a note or tabbed instructions for Linux/macOS users where there are differences, especially in commands or file handling.
