Failure not working ASP.NET MVC Ajax JQuery

Question

The following is my ajax call which is working fine but its always success.

  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: '@(Request.RawUrl + "/postcomment")',
    dataType: "json",
    data: data,
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    success: function() {
      alert('success');
    },
    failure: function(response) {
      alert(response.d);
    }
  });

How can I cause the failure function to be activated. In the controller class, I'm doing

return new HttpStatusCodeResult(500, "Error message");

But in the failure message box doesn't appear, what do I need to do to get failure to work and display a message.

It's error not failure.

Can you please replace failure with error:

error: function(response) {
  alert(response.d);
}

I'd seen failure somewhere and began using that. I've updated the answer with the correct property I should've been using. statusText is the right property. Accept the edit and I'll mark the answer.

Use the status code callback. Where did you get failure callback from? There is only an error callback.

$.ajax({
  statusCode: {
    500: function() {
      alert( "error" );
    }
  }
});

Can't remember why I was using failure, must've seen it somewhere on the internet somewhere and just copied it.
