jQuery and Ajax callback

The return it’s mixed. In this example I’m only trying to return the text value read, but it can be an integer, a string, a JSON or whatever. I only need to understand where the function stops. Let me rewrite the code and see if I got where is the issue

I wrote another code because the example doesn’t work for me. I totally rewrote my example code with the right rules now, but it won’t reply anyway :/ So the new code is set up like this :

Plugin page :

wp_enqueue_script("jquery");
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ajax_writecode' );	
function ajax_writecode() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'doSome', plugins_url( 'js/script.js', __FILE__ ) );
	wp_localize_script( 'doSome', 'doSomeCallback', array(
		'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
	));	
}		
		
add_action('wp_ajax_manipulate','manipulate');
function manipulate() {
	echo $_REQUEST['text'].' Catch by manipulate() ';
	die();
}

The HTML page with the form :

<form method="post">
	<textarea id="result"></textarea>
	<input id="btn" type="button" value="Write" />
	<input id="text" type="text">
</form>

The script.js :

jQuery("#btn").on( 'click', function() {
	var text = jQuery("#text").val();
	jQuery.ajax({
		url : doSomeCallback.ajax_url,
		type : 'post',
		data : {
			action : 'manipulate',
			text : text
		},
		success : function( response ) {
			jQuery('#result').append( response );
		}
	});

	return false;
})

Still nothing comes :\

I found the error. I didn’t see that i was declaring the wp_enqueue_script() and wp_localize_script() inside the function that define a submenu. I moved them outside in the main definition and works like a charm. But I have another question now : Is it possible to define wp_enqueue_script() and wp_localize_script() inside a submenu definition or they must reside in the main only?

For ex. I have :

add_menu_page( 'SomePlugin', 'SomeP', 'manage_options', 'somep', 'init_func' );
add_submenu_page( 'somep', 'SomeSub - Page', 'Subpage','manage_options', 'somep_page' ,'sub_func');

Inside the init_funct() i define wp_enqueue_script() and wp_localize_script() and works perfectly. If I put them in sub_func() when the subpage is called they won’t produce output. I already checked that with the subpage everything is included ( jquery, script.js, etc. )

EDIT :
I tried to include everything inside another function and the result is the same, seems like isn’t called from the page. Let me add. In the main plugin I have :

function utility($hook) {
	require_once(PATH.'utility.php');
}
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'utility' );

The utility contains the following :

function doSome() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'doSome', plugins_url( 'js/script.js', __FILE__ ),array('jquery'), '1.0', true );
	wp_localize_script( 'doSome', 'doSomeCallback', array(
		'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
	));
}	
			
function manipulate() {
	echo $_POST['text'];
	die();
}
	
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'doSome' );
add_action('wp_ajax_manipulate','manipulate');
