  1.  $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/lib/file.php',
    success: function(result) {
        var data = jQuery.parseJSON(result);
        console.log(data.name);
        }
    });

  2. maybe you can try with the path that relative to the root directory
    ex : 

    $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/wordpress_site/wp-content/themes/themename/lib/file.php',
    success: function(result) {
        var data = jQuery.parseJSON(result);
        console.log(data.name);
    }
});

  3. I fixed it by doing this in my body tag of my header.php file

    data-theme-url="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>

    and use the url in my javascript like this

    url: $('body').data('theme-url') + '/lib/file.php',
