+# Detailed root cause analysis of the issue: https://github.com/Azure/sonic-mgmt/issues/1941#issuecomment-670434790
+# Before calling callback function of plugins to return ansible module result, ansible calls the
+# ansible.executor.task_result.TaskResult.clean_copy method to remove some keys like 'failed' and 'skipped' in the
+# result dict. The keys to be removed are defined in module variable ansible.executor.task_result._IGNORE. The trick
+# of this hack is to override this pre-defined key list. When the 'failed' key is not included in the list, ansible
+# will not remove it before returning the ansible result to plugins (pytest_ansible in our case)
