Jquery AJAX Deferred not working?

Question

I have the following:

var archiveFolders = function (ids) {
     var options = {// stuff}
     return $.ajax(options)
}

archiveFolders(data).then(alert("heyo"));

But "heyo" is getting displayed immediately after the call to archiveFolders, NOT after the call finishes. How to I wait to display "heyo" until I get a response from the server?

yes, I see a breakpoint get hit on the serverside AFTER the alert is thrown — RobVious

This problem is actually quite simple. alert("heyo") is evaluated immediately. Try this instead:

archiveFolders(data).then(function () {
  alert("heyo");
});
