After learning the fundamentals of joining data frames in R, you are now ready to practice combining real-world datasets. Imagine you have two data frames: one containing customer information, and another containing order details. Your goal is to merge these datasets using appropriate join functions from the `dplyr` package, ensuring you can analyze unified customer and order data for further insights.


library(testthat)

source("user_code.R")
test_that("customer_orders_left contains all rows from customers", {
  expect_true(exists("customer_orders_left"), info = "customer_orders_left variable should exist.")
  expect_true(is.data.frame(customer_orders_left), info = "customer_orders_left should be a data frame.")
  expect_equal(nrow(customer_orders_left), 5, info = "customer_orders_left should have 5 rows (including duplicated customers for multiple orders).")
  expect_equal(sort(unique(customer_orders_left$customer_id)), sort(customers$customer_id), info = "customer_orders_left should contain all customer IDs from customers.")
})

test_that("customer_orders_left has NA for order columns where no orders exist", {
  expect_true(any(is.na(customer_orders_left$order_id)), info = "There should be NA in order_id for customers without orders.")
  expect_true(any(is.na(customer_orders_left$order_total)), info = "There should be NA in order_total for customers without orders.")
  no_order_rows <- customer_orders_left[is.na(customer_orders_left$order_id), ]
  expect_true(all(no_order_rows$customer_id == 4), info = "Customer with ID 4 should have NA in order columns.")
})

test_that("customer_orders_inner contains only customers with orders", {
  expect_true(exists("customer_orders_inner"), info = "customer_orders_inner variable should exist.")
  expect_true(is.data.frame(customer_orders_inner), info = "customer_orders_inner should be a data frame.")
  expect_equal(sort(unique(customer_orders_inner$customer_id)), sort(unique(orders$customer_id[orders$customer_id %in% customers$customer_id])), info = "customer_orders_inner should only contain customer IDs present in both data frames.")
  expect_false(any(customer_orders_inner$customer_id == 4), info = "Customer with ID 4 should not be present in customer_orders_inner.")
})

test_that("joins use customer_id as the key", {
  expect_true(all(c("customer_id", "customer_name", "order_id", "order_total") %in% colnames(customer_orders_left)), info = "customer_orders_left should have correct columns.")
  expect_true(all(c("customer_id", "customer_name", "order_id", "order_total") %in% colnames(customer_orders_inner)), info = "customer_orders_inner should have correct columns.")
})

test_that("variable names are correct", {
  expect_true(exists("customer_orders_left"), info = "Variable customer_orders_left should be defined.")
  expect_true(exists("customer_orders_inner"), info = "Variable customer_orders_inner should be defined.")
})
