sudo: true in ansible affects the remote (managed) nodes.
The user running ansible will need to be able to access the files on the
local end, so sudo ansible itself in that case if you need to read
/tmp/root.txt and can't as you.

My question is how can I copy a file from the Ansible node to the
configured nodes when the file is only accessible by the root user.
Using the copy module directly does not work, so now I have to make some
tricky tasks like that:
- hosts: all
sudo: true
tasks:
- local_action: shell cp
This traceback is because the local ansible can't access the file, though
we do consider tracebacks in Ansible to be bugs - in this case this is a
closed ticket.
If you are seeing problems in the most recent release where you are getting
a traceback, please do make sure there is a bug filed - howe
Now I have seen an issue in the Ansible github with the same problem:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/6948
It provides a patch to solve the error, but it only changes the error
message.
The original error was:
TASK: [copy src=/tmp/root.txt dest=/tmp/pr.txt]
