Ansible - how to use when with an or operator

My goal is to use a conditional check, on two variables, using the or operator in Ansible.
I've configured 2 variables:

var1: test_var
var2: another_var

I'm using one a check on one variable works.

when: "'te' in var1" # works!

But using two variables is always true.

when: "'te' in var1 or var2" # True
when: "'xxx' in var1 or var2" # Also true, but I expect false
when: "'xxx' in var1" or "'xxx' in var2" # syntax error

What am I doing wrong?

Got it.

when: "'xxx' in var1 or 'te' in var2"

I had to ensure I was using proper quoting.
