left_join. not working as expected when column names are the same

[russellhz]

I am trying to join two tables with the same column names:

a <- data.table(year = 1:5, value = 1:5)
b <- data.table(year = 1:5, value = 6:10)
left_join.(a, b, by = c("year"))

In dplyr, this would results in a tibble with the columns year, value.x, and value.y.

Instead this is just returning a back to me with the columns year and value

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

All fixed - thanks for catching this!

# devtools::install_github("markfairbanks/tidytable")
library(tidytable, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
a <- data.table(year = 1:5, value = 1:5)
b <- data.table(year = 1:5, value = 6:10)
left_join.(a, b, by = c("year"))
#> # A tidytable: 5 × 3
#>    year value.x value.y
#>   <int>   <int>   <int>
#> 1     1       1       6
#> 2     2       2       7
#> 3     3       3       8
#> 4     4       4       9
#> 5     5       5      10
