Jquery ajax – How to prevent function from running if data error is returned

I have an AJAX request which shows a modal window with a progress bar when the data is computable but if there is an error I would like the error to be returned and the modal window to stay hidden. 

$(document).ready(function(){
$(function () {
    var pleaseWait = $('#pleaseWaitDialog');
        showPleaseWait = function () {
            pleaseWait.modal('show');
        };
        hidePleaseWait = function () {
            pleaseWait.modal('hide');
        };
    });

    var $myForm = $('.form')
    $myForm.on('submit', function(event){
        event.preventDefault();
        var form = $(event.target)
        var formData = new FormData(form[4]);

        $.ajax({
            xhr: function() {
                var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
                xhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
                    if (e.lengthComputable) {
                        showPleaseWait(); // <---------------  This runs even when view returns error
                        console.log('Percentage uploaded: ' + (e.loaded / e.total))
                        var percent = Math.round(e.loaded / e.total * 100);
                        $('#progress-bar').attr('aria-valuenow', percent).css('width', percent + '%');
                    }
                });
                return xhr;
                },
            type: 'POST',
            url: form.attr('action'),
            enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
            processData: false,
            contentType: false,
            data: new FormData(this),
            success: function(data){
                if (data.success) {
                    window.location.href = data.url;
                }
                if (data.error) {
                    $("#top").html(data.error.title).addClass('form-field-error');
                    $("#div_id_title").removeClass('form-group');
                }
            },
        });
    });
});

I have tried moving the showPleaseWait function under the if(data.error) statement but this doesn’t work.

How do I keep the modal window hidden if the response is (data.error)?

EDIT:

And this removes the HTML of the page and shows the JSON response instead:

            success: function(data){
                if (data.success) {
                    window.location.href = data.url;
                }
            error: function (jqXHR, exception) {
                if (data.error) {
                    $("#top").html(data.error.title).addClass('form-field-error');
                    $("#div_id_title").removeClass('form-group');
                    }
                }
            },

    Your function is the “succes” property of the ajax object.
    As shown in the doc, there is a “error” property to handle ajax error, here is the signature :

    error(xhr,status,error)

    Use it like you do with the succes property :

     $.ajax({
        xhr: function() {
            var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
            xhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
                if (e.lengthComputable) {
                    showPleaseWait(); // <---------------  This runs even when view returns error
                    console.log('Percentage uploaded: ' + (e.loaded / e.total))
                    var percent = Math.round(e.loaded / e.total * 100);
                    $('#progress-bar').attr('aria-valuenow', percent).css('width', percent + '%');
                }
            });
            return xhr;
            },
        type: 'POST',
        url: form.attr('action'),
        enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
        processData: false,
        contentType: false,
        data: new FormData(this),
        success: function(data){
            if (data.success) {
                window.location.href = data.url;
            }
        },
        error: function(xhr,status,error){

            // Do something
        }

    });

    I hope it solved your issue !

    I think you are using Jquery 3.0
    so try this 

    var jqxhr = $.ajax({
            xhr: function() {
                var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
                xhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
                    if (e.lengthComputable) {
                        showPleaseWait(); // <---------------  This runs even when view returns error
                        console.log('Percentage uploaded: ' + (e.loaded / e.total))
                        var percent = Math.round(e.loaded / e.total * 100);
                        $('#progress-bar').attr('aria-valuenow', percent).css('width', percent + '%');
                    }
                });
                return xhr;
                },
            type: 'POST',
            url: form.attr('action'),
            enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
            processData: false,
            contentType: false,
            data: new FormData(this),
            success: function(data){
                if (data.success) {
                    window.location.href = data.url;
                }
                if (data.error) {
                    $("#top").html(data.error.title).addClass('form-field-error');
                    $("#div_id_title").removeClass('form-group');
                }
            },
        })
  .done(function() {
    alert( "success" );
  })
  .fail(function() {
    alert( "error" );
$("#top").html(data.error.title).addClass('form-field-error');
                    $("#div_id_title").removeClass('form-group');
  })
  .always(function() {
    alert( "complete" );
  });

    // Perform other work here …

    // Set another completion function for the request above
    jqxhr.always(function() {
    alert( “second complete” );
    });
