Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments, focusing exclusively on Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code workflows. All instructions, screenshots, and tool references assume the use of Windows tools and UI patterns (e.g., Visual Studio, Azurite extension, menu navigation). There is no mention of Linux or macOS-specific instructions, terminal commands, or alternative editors. The use of Azurite and Azure Functions Core Tools is described only in the context of Visual Studio/VS Code, with no CLI or cross-platform guidance. This results in a lack of parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Add a dedicated section or pivot for Linux/macOS users, outlining how to create, run, and debug Durable Functions apps using the .NET CLI and Azure Functions Core Tools from the terminal.
- Provide explicit instructions for installing prerequisites (e.g., .NET SDK, Azure Functions Core Tools, Azurite) on Linux and macOS, including package manager commands (apt, yum, brew, etc.).
- Include CLI-based project creation and management steps as alternatives to Visual Studio/VS Code UI workflows.
- Show examples of running and debugging Durable Functions apps from the terminal, including how to use breakpoints with VS Code on Linux/macOS.
- Mention any platform-specific considerations, such as file paths, permissions, or differences in emulator usage.
- Ensure screenshots and instructions are not exclusively Windows-centric, or provide equivalent visuals for Linux/macOS environments.
