I have a playbook with the following contents

    register: output
    notify: user-create
    when: "output.stderr not in ['succeed1', 'succeed2']"


whenver i run this playbook, encountering the following error -->

"failed": true,
    "msg": "The conditional check 'output.stderr not in ['succeed1',

(output.stderr not in ['succeed1', 'succeed2']): 'output' is
undefined\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/user-check.yml': line 10, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax

\"check user\"\n    ^ here\n"

When: is executed first and at this time output is not populated since command has not run yet.

You need to split it in two tasks, one that check and one that create with the result that you don't need the handler.
