This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation generally provides both Bash (Linux/macOS) and CMD (Windows) commands for environment variable setup, and all code samples are cross-platform. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: (1) In the environment variable setup, the Windows CMD example is given after the Bash example, but both are present. (2) The documentation assumes the use of Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns (such as systemd for running servers, or Linux-specific troubleshooting). (3) The documentation references the awps-tunnel tool, which is Node.js-based and cross-platform, but does not mention alternatives like ngrok, which is commonly used in Linux/macOS developer workflows. (4) There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific shell or scripting patterns, and no troubleshooting guidance for Linux users. (5) The documentation does not provide PowerShell-specific examples, but the presence of CMD and Bash examples may still leave PowerShell users (common on Windows) or zsh/fish users (common on Linux/macOS) without direct guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that all commands and tools are cross-platform and tested on both Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Provide PowerShell examples for environment variable setup, as many Windows users use PowerShell instead of CMD.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips (e.g., handling permissions, using systemd or supervisord for running servers in the background).
  • Mention and provide examples for popular Linux/macOS tunneling tools like ngrok as alternatives to awps-tunnel.
  • Clarify any platform-specific prerequisites or differences (e.g., how to install Node.js or Python on Linux vs. Windows).
  • Add notes about activating Python virtual environments on Windows (using .venv\Scripts\activate) as well as on Linux/macOS (using . .venv/bin/activate).
  • Ensure that all code and command snippets are clearly marked for their intended shell (Bash, CMD, PowerShell) and platform.

You can test the server by running `dotnet run --urls http://localhost:8080` and access `http://localhost:8080/index.html` in the browser. # [JavaScript](#tab/javascript) We use [express.js](https://expressjs.com/), a popular web framework for Node.js to host the web pages and handle incoming requests. First let's create an express web app in a `chatapp` folder. 1. Install express.js
