conditionals with my shortcodes aren't working

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Nested custom shortcode does not work in [wpv-conditional], for example:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types term_id=[parent_id] termmeta=animation output=raw][/types]' != '')"]

Solution:

It is not recommended to use nested shortcodes insider [wpv-conditional] shortcode, I suggest you try these:

I'm trying to implement this conditional at archive page:

This works fine: [types term_id='[parent_id]' termmeta='animation' output="raw"][/types]

[parent_id] is my shortcode that returns taxonomy term parent (0 or number)

This also works: [wpv-conditional if="( '[types termmeta=animation output=raw][/types]' != '')"]

But this fails (e.g. it's always false): [wpv-conditional if="( '[types term_id=[parent_id] termmeta=animation output=raw][/types]' != '')"]

Tried with quotes, same result: [wpv-conditional if="( '[types term_id='[parent_id]' termmeta='animation' output='raw'][/types]' != '')"]

Hello,

It is not recommended to use nested shortcodes insider [wpv-conditional] shortcode, I suggest you try these:
1) Create a content template, for example: my-term-meta, using below content:

[types term_id='[parent_id]' termmeta='animation' output='raw'][/types]

2) Modify your codes as below:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-body view_template="my-term-meta" suppress_filters="true"]' != '')"]
... here display something ...
[/wpv-conditional]

ok, I've made a function to compute this shortcode and used it at conditional
