What happened to the rules for "ant" and "ent"?

In a quiz just taken, in making an adverb from "courant", courammant was marked wrong and couramment was correct. Is courant just different?

This question relates to:French lesson "Forming adverbs from adjectives ending in -ant and -ent in French (French Adverbs)"

You may have had a momentary blip or mislearned the lesson as the rule is that - ent goes to «-emment»; - ant goes to «-amment». The question was marked correctly.
