Question

In Twig partial rendered by separate controller, I want to check if current main route equals to compared route, so I can mark list item as active.

How can I do tha

pabgaran's solution should work. However, the original problem occurs probably because of the request_stack.

Since you are in a subrequest, you should be able to get top-level (master) Request and get _route. Something like this:

public function barAction(Request $request) {
    $stack = $this->get('request_stack');
    $masterRequest = $stack->getMasterRequest();
    $currentRoute = $masterRequest->get('_route');

    ...
    return $this->render('Template', array('current_route' => $currentRoute );
}

Haven't run this but it should work...
