     def pytest_pyfunc_call(pyfuncitem):

+        outcome.force_result(new_res)  # to override the return value to the plugin system
 
 Note that hook wrappers don't return results themselves, they merely
 perform tracing or other side effects around the actual hook implementations.
 If the result of the underlying hook is a mutable object, they may modify
 that result but it's probably better to avoid it.
