Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. In the manual setup section, the Maven plugin configuration explicitly sets the runtime OS to 'windows' without mentioning Linux or macOS alternatives. In the Maven command section, PowerShell and Cmd examples are provided alongside Bash, with Windows shells shown after Bash but before Linux-specific troubleshooting. Visual Studio Code instructions are cross-platform, but screenshots and steps do not clarify Linux/macOS differences. There is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS-specific setup, nor are there troubleshooting tips for non-Windows environments. The Azure Functions Core Tools are referenced generically, but no guidance is given for Linux/macOS installation or usage.
Recommendations
- In the Maven plugin configuration, clarify that the <os>windows</os> setting is for Windows deployments and provide equivalent configuration for Linux (e.g., <os>linux</os>) and macOS.
- Add explicit instructions or troubleshooting notes for installing and running Azure Functions Core Tools on Linux and macOS.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific screenshots or notes in the Visual Studio Code section, especially for file paths and shell commands.
- Ensure that all command-line examples are presented in parallel for Bash (Linux/macOS), PowerShell, and Cmd, with clear indications of which OS each applies to.
- Add a note in the prerequisites section about supported operating systems and any OS-specific caveats for Java Durable Functions development.
