Почему переменная не существует в ветке Symfony?

Я пытаюсь напечатать все категории в моей ветке следующим образом:

 <div class="col-md-3">
<p class="lead">Categories</p>
<div class="list-group">
{% for category in categories %}
<a href="#" class="list-group-item">{{ category.name }}</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>

Но это говорит мне, что переменных категорий не существует.

Структура ветки:

{% extends 'base.html.twig' %}

{% block body %}
<!-- Page Content -->
<div class="container">

<div class="row">

<div class="col-md-3">
<p class="lead">Categories</p>
<div class="list-group">
{% for category in categories %}
<a href="#" class="list-group-item">{{ render(controller(
'AppBundle:Category:listCategories'
)) }}</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>

<div class="col-md-9">

Когда вы пытаетесь сделать это в другом шаблоне, он работает, но я хочу сделать это в ветке домашней страницы

Вот мой контроллер:

public function listCategoriesAction()
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$categoryRepository = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:Category');
$categories = $categoryRepository->findAll();

return $this->render('homepage/homepage.html.twig', array(
'categories' => $categories->getResult()
));
}
