[asterisk-users] Queue Breakout Input being Ignored

[Anton Panetta]

Hello,

Raw stats:
Version:1.8.3.2
OS:Centos 5.6
Special setup: postgre database


I am having a few queue issues with Asterisk specifically relating to 
breaking out from queues while on hold.

The intent is that while someone is on hold they can press a key (lets 
say *) to break from the queue and go elsewhere (in this case to leave a 
message).

However In all of my testing I am unable to get this to work, or even to 
be able to leave the queue while on hold (to go to another queue for 
example, or force any action, eg hangup, play message, etc).

I have enabled DTMF debug and I can see in the console that asterisk is 
receiving the correct information, it just appears to be ignoring it.

Tested this on 1.6 as well and got the same results ( I had assumed it 
was a bug in 1.6) everything I look at suggests what I am doing -should- 
work.

I suspect I am missing some over arching setting or something incredibly 
simple but for the life of me I cannot get this function to work as 
described.

Here is some of the  config which I beleive is relevent.

Various variants have been tested with different actions to occur (sorry 
I dont have a simpler version of the below at hand)

[extensions.conf]

[app-helpdesk-bh]
exten => s,1(unanswered),Ringingsame  =>   n,Wait(2)
same  =>   n,Answer
same  =>   n,Wait(1)
same  =>   n(answered),NoOp(Helpdesk)
same  =>   n,Gosub(app-filteranon,s,1)
same  =>   n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${client} Helpdesk)
same  =>   n,NoOp(Caller ID set to: ${CALLERID(name)})
same  =>   n,NoOp(Callers waiting in queue: 
${QUEUE_WAITING_COUNT(helpdesk)})
; play the announcement for this helpdesk client (or the general intro)
same  =>   n(announceandwait),Gosub(app-helpdesk-${client}-intro,s,1)
same  =>   n,Gosub(app-helpdesk-${client}-special-rva,s,1)
; queue the call
;   t = allow the called party to transfer the call
;   k = allow the called party to park the call
;   c = continue on after call (to update devstate)
same  =>   n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:helpdesk)=RINGING)
same  =>   n,Queue(helpdesk,tk,,,600,,,app-update-helpdesk-queue-devstate)
same  =>   n,Gosub(app-update-helpdesk-queue-devstate,s,1)
; if the caller can't get into the queue or is kicked out of it, go to
; the after hours answering service
same  =>   n,Goto(app-helpdesk-hutchison,s,answered)
same  =>   n(done),NoOp

; update devstate after a hangup
exten => h,1,Gosub(app-update-helpdesk-queue-devstate,s,1)

include => app-helpdesk-breakout

[app-helpdesk-breakout]
exten => 1,1,Gosub(app-helpdesk-callback,s,1)
same  =>   n,Hangup

[app-helpdesk-callback]
; Callers brought to this context will be able to leave a message
; which will then be attached to an email and sent to the appropriate
; helpdesk RT queue
exten => s,1,NoOp(Helpdesk callback not implemented yet)
same  =>   n,Return
same  =>   n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "anonymous" or 
${CALLERID(num)} = "0"]?collect)

same  =>   n(collect),Goto(app-helpdesk-callback-collect,s,1)
