The verification of the ansible module

I have copied the ansible's copy module's source code copy.py to the project's root directory as c_copy.py("c_copy" module), and execute the task used the "c_copy" module. As a result, I can't understand but the task have failed although the task used the "copy" module have suceeeded.

Requirements

• Python 2.7.12(pyenv)
• pip
• Vagrant

Setup

$ git clone https://github.com/suzuki-shunsuke/ansible-module-test-example
$ cd ansible-module-test-example
$ pyenv install 2.7.12
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install --upgrade virtualenv
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ cp env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/modules/core/files/copy.py c_copy.py

Test

$ vagrant up --provision-with=ansible

tasks/main.yml

- name: run the copy module
  copy:
    src: test.txt
    dest: /tmp/test.txt
- name: run the clone of the copy module
  c_copy:
    src: test.txt
    dest: /tmp/c_test.txt
