How to Simulate 500 Error in Symfony 2

Question

I am wondering how would I simulate a 500 error in Symfony 2.

I have been reading this post where Raise suggests throwing an exception

If you want to trigger a FatalErrorException in Symfony2 to see if you app is handling it correctly, you can create an action like this in your controller:

public function fatalErrorExceptionAction()
{
    $unknown->getVoid();
}

The division by zero will generate a Warning while throwing the Exception, well, it'll just throw it. :-)
