I am creating a new Twig Environment object inside a custom class, that class is being rendered from an existing twig file. I am trying to render a form in my twig file which is being rendered from my custom class, however in this new Twig_Environment object form functions are not available, i have tried adding existing form extension from symfony's own twig object to my new twig object, that is not working either.
$path = 'some/directory'; // just simplifying here
$loader = new \Twig_Loader_Filesystem( $path );
$twig = new \Twig_Environment($loader, array(
'cache' => __DIR__.'/../../../../../../app/cache/',
));
$tmpl = $twig->loadTemplate('EmailUs.html.twig');
$twig->addExtension( new \Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Extension\FormExtension( $this->pageObj->getContainer()->get('twig.form.renderer') ) );
$response = new Response();
$response->setContent($tmpl);
return $response;
The error i get is
"The function "form_start" does not exist in EmailUs.html.twig at line 8"
I was using symfony's own twig object to render the response but that was giving me the same error. Can you help pls? I am using Symfony 2.3.4
Form functions are available if i render a normal controller, they dont work fine if i create a custom twig object.
