step_func_args does not return fixture

I have:

@pytest.fixture
def browser():

and step definition

@given('the home page is displayed')
def the_home_page_is_displayed(browser):

When I use

def pytest_bdd_after_step(request, feature, scenario, step, step_func, step_func_args):

It does not return browser for the Given step. It returns instead:

{'request': <FixtureRequest for <Function 'test_login_to_ui[user-password]'>>}

Also request.fixturename does not work from def pytest_bdd_after_step(request, feature, scenario, step, step_func, step_func_args): It always returns None
