Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive use of Windows-style file paths (e.g., c:\data\import) in configuration examples, references to Windows-specific .NET APIs (such as WinHttpHandler and ServicePointManager), and the absence of explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line or file path examples. There are no mentions of Linux-specific tools, shell commands, or file system conventions, and all examples assume a Windows environment by default.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and macOS equivalents for all file path examples (e.g., use /home/user/data/import alongside c:\data\import).
  • When referencing .NET APIs that have platform-specific behavior (like WinHttpHandler or ServicePointManager), clarify their cross-platform compatibility or provide alternatives for Linux environments.
  • Include notes or examples for setting environment variables and configuration files using Linux/macOS shell syntax (e.g., export VAR=value, or editing ~/.bashrc).
  • Explicitly state that the SDK and its configuration are cross-platform, and provide guidance for running and debugging WebJobs on Linux/macOS.
  • Where relevant, mention any differences in behavior or limitations when running on non-Windows platforms.
