Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
Summary:
The documentation specifies 'os = windows' as the default runtime in the Gradle configuration, without mentioning Linux or cross-platform alternatives. This may lead users to assume Windows is the primary or only supported OS, despite Java and Azure Functions supporting Linux. No PowerShell or Windows-specific command-line tools are used, and all shell commands are cross-platform (bash/curl/gradle). However, the lack of explicit Linux parity in the runtime configuration is a subtle Windows-first bias.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux are supported as runtime OS options in the Gradle configuration.
- Show how to set 'os = linux' in the azurefunctions.runtime block, or provide a table comparing both options.
- Add a note clarifying that the instructions and commands work on both Windows and Linux, and that the default 'os = windows' can be changed as needed.
- If there are any platform-specific considerations (e.g., Java 21 only on Linux), highlight them in context and provide guidance for both platforms.
