Windows Tools
Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily through the use of PowerShell-based examples and Windows-centric tools (e.g., AzPowershell, AzureCLI with 'pscore', PowerShell@2 tasks). These tools and patterns are referenced in both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines workflows, often as the default or only example for installing dependencies and running tests. While the workflows specify 'ubuntu-latest' runners and use cross-platform commands like 'npm ci' and 'npx playwright test', the authentication and setup steps rely heavily on PowerShell modules and conventions, which may be less familiar or accessible to Linux/macOS users. Additionally, command-line examples for running single tests are shown in PowerShell syntax, and there is little mention of Linux-native alternatives or shell scripting.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash/sh examples for all PowerShell commands, especially for authentication and setup steps.
- Clarify that AzureCLI and PowerShell tasks can be run on Linux/macOS runners and provide explicit instructions for those environments.
- Offer alternative workflow steps using Bash or native Linux/macOS tools where possible.
- Ensure that command-line examples (e.g., running single tests) are shown in both PowerShell and Bash syntax.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for all tools and scripts, and highlight any platform-specific requirements.
