Question

If I run the controller “normally” the (Booking) Controller throws an exception I get my custom 500 error page.

If I render the controller inside another template, like so:

{% render "BookingBundle:Booking:list" %}

then I don’t get anything just blank output.

Is there a way to get the error page to display here with out doing a try catch inside the controller?

When you use the render tag, you can specify some options as the third argument:

• ignore_errors default FALSE in debug mode and TRUE otherwise
• alt an alternative controller to execute in case of an error

The debug mode is activated by passing true as the value of the second kernel’s constructor argument. You can see it in the front controller classes:

$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', true);

If you don’t want to ignore errors, even in non-debug mode, you can do:

{% render 'BookingBundle:Booking:list' with {}, {'ignore_errors':false} %}
