@Url.Action only returns the action url's string, without quotes around it.

You'll need to wrap that url in quotes.

Replace:

url: @Url.Action(ReturnMethodTest, HomeController),

With:

url: '@Url.Action(ReturnMethodTest, HomeController)',

//   ^                                                 ^

Otherwise, the file returned to the client will contain:

url: /HomeController/ReturnMethodTest,

Which isn't valid JS, nor what you want. The replacement gives the following result:

url: '/HomeController/ReturnMethodTest',

Which is a perfectly valid JavaScript string.
