SyntaxError: duplicate capture group name in regular expression — What went wrong?
All named capturing groups in a regular expression pattern must have unique names.
Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions).
All named capturing groups in a regular expression pattern must have unique names. A more recent feature allows named capturing groups to share names, as long as they belong to different disjunction alternatives and cannot be matched at the same time (see browser compatibility for this). However, it is still an error if the named capturing groups with the same name could be matched at the same time, as that would make other features, such as named backreferences, ambiguous.
