"Unable to register extension' warning

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I am getting lots of these in my new dialplan ( V11) but could not see why so I started with a very simple test to illustrate
[foo]
exten => 1234,1,noop(do something)
same => n,Dial(Sip/${EXTEN})

[bar]
exten => 1234,1,Noop(do another thing)
same => n,Dial(Sip/${EXTEN})

When I load above dialplan I see the following:
– Registered extension context ‘foo’; registrar: pbx_config
– Added extension ‘1234’ priority 1 to foo
– Added extension ‘1234’ priority 2 to foo
– Registered extension context ‘bar’; registrar: pbx_config
– Added extension ‘1234’ priority 1 to bar
– Added extension ‘1234’ priority 2 to bar

any idea what this is trying to tell me?

Thanks

Something has already registered it.

Do you perhaps have contexts with the same name elsewhere in your extensions.conf or perhaps in your extensions.ael or extensions.lua?

If you do a ‘dialplan show’ do you see your foo and bar contexts existing already?
