Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows environments by exclusively providing instructions for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, both of which are primarily Windows-focused tools (though VS Code is cross-platform). The Visual Studio section is entirely Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. There are no command-line or platform-agnostic instructions, and no explicit Linux/macOS examples or troubleshooting notes. The use of Azurite and Azure Functions Core Tools is mentioned, but only in the context of Visual Studio/VS Code workflows, not in standalone CLI or non-Windows IDE scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for creating and testing Durable Functions apps on Linux and macOS, including terminal/CLI workflows using Azure Functions Core Tools.
- Provide examples using cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code on Linux/macOS) and clarify any OS-specific steps or differences.
- Include troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, path differences, firewall configuration).
- Mention alternative tools or workflows for users who do not use Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, such as JetBrains Rider or plain text editors.
- Ensure that all screenshots and step-by-step instructions are either platform-neutral or include Linux/macOS variants.
