Ansible playbook copy failed - msg: could not find src

Luckily this is a simple fix, all you need to do after the copy is add
remote_src: yes

I am new to ansible and I am trying to clopy a file from one directory to another directory on a remote RH machine using ansible.
--- - hosts: all user: root sudo: yes tasks: - name: touch file: path=/home/user/test1.txt state=touch - name: file file: path=/home/user/test1.txt mode=777 - name: copy copy: src=/home/user/test1.txt dest=/home/user/Desktop/test1.txt
But it throws error as below
[root@nwb-ansible ansible]# ansible-playbook a.yml -i hosts SSH password: PLAY [all] ******************************************************************** GATHERING FACTS *************************************************************** ok: [auto-0000000190] TASK: [touch] ***************************************************************** changed: [auto-0000000190] TASK: [file] ****************************************************************** ok: [auto-0000000190] TASK: [copy] ****************************************************************** failed: [auto-0000000190] => {"failed": true} msg: could not find src=/home/user/test1.txt FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** to retry, use: --limit @/root/a.retry auto-0000000190 : ok=3 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=1 [root@nwb-ansible ansible]#
The file has created in the directory and both the file and the directory has got permissions 777.
I am getting the same error message if I try to just copy already existing file using ansible.
I have tried as non-root user as well but no success.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Angel
