Asterisk GoSub() function not working for me

Question

I am trying to make calls between extensions 101 and 102 and is NOT going through. I have the following extensions.conf file

I got the following error:

Executing [102@internal:1] Gosub("SIP/101-00000002", "local-followme,s,1(102)") in new stack
[2021-05-18 20:26:16] ERROR[19823][C-0000000a]: app_stack.c:593 gosub_exec: Attempt to reach a non-existent destination for Gosub: (Context:local-followme, Extension:s, Priority:1)
  == Spawn extension (internal, 102, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/101-00000002'
  == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5

app_stack is loaded apparently, this is what I have with the command "module show like app_stack" on CLI

app_stack.so - Dialplan subroutines (Gosub, Return, etc 0 - Running - core

I will really appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

I would like to know how come I am unable to make calls between extensions. Whenever I place a call I get the error message that is show in my question. — Enrique Torrez, May 19 '21 at 14:05
Maybe because you have no local-followme context at all, don't you? Common, asterisk can't write dialplan for you and guess what you want. — arheops, May 19 '21 at 14:50
Thank you, I am new at this and I will keep on practicing. I really appreciate your help. That was the issue, now is fully functional. — Enrique Torrez, May 19 '21 at 15:50
Instead of repeating `exten => _NXXNXXXXXX` several times, use `same =>`. It will save you hours of debugging when you accidentally have replaced a character. It also makes it easier for a human to read. — some, May 28 '21 at 09:50

Confirm if you are reloading the dialplan module by "dialplan reload" command in Asterisk CLI, it seems like what is being executed in the call is GoSub instead of Macro. You can validate dialplan statements loaded in Asterisk by doing "dialplan show" or "dialplan show context-name"

Please, avoid using Macro application, you should use GoSub application instead, Macro is considered deprecated.

Here's a Gosub example:

[internal]
exten => _1XX,1,GoSub(local-followme,s,1(${EXTEN}))

[local-followme]
exten => s,1,Verbose(GoSub executing)
same = n,Verbose(Argument 1: ${ARG1})
same = n,Return()

Asterisk GoSub() function not working for me
