IMPORTANT EDIT: I cannot seem to be able to replicate the issue on Chrome, it is intermittent on Firefox (about 50/50). And is happening even more on Edge (about 70/30).

I have checked other similar questions but they do not resolve the issue.

I am using Angular JS with Laravel 5.4, sending a GET request and it is sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. When I say failing I mean I am literally getting nothing back. I am getting no error and I can confirm laravel.log file is logging other errors but nothing for this.

In my console I have two examples that were done one after the other.

The request is called get-user-roles and the function is called at UserController@getUserRoles

Failed:

Succeeded:

You can see in the second one I am getting blank data back as expected.

Here is my web.php in /routes

Route::group(
 [
 'middleware' => ['cors', 'switchdb'],

 ], function () 

 // auth

 Route::resource('authenticate', 'AuthenticateController', ['only' => ['index']]);
 Route::post('authenticate', 'AuthenticateController@authenticate');

 Route::group(
 [
 'middleware' => ['jwt.auth'],

 ], function () 
 Route::get('get-user-roles', 'UserController@getUserRoles');
 );

 Route::group(
 [
 'middleware' => ['jwt.auth', 'is-not-customer'],

 ], function () 
 // more functions
 );
);

Here is my controller UserController

<?php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppUser;
use AppRole;
use AppHttpRequestsPublishUserRequest;
use AppHttpRequestsChangePasswordRequest;
use Auth;


class UserController extends Controller


 protected $user;

 public function __construct()
 
 $this->user = new User();
 

 public function getUserRoles()
 
 try 
 $roles = $this->user->getPagesForRoles(Auth::user()->id);
 foreach ($roles as $key => $role) 
 if ($role['hasRole'] == 0) 
 unset($roles[$key]);
 
 

 return response()->json([
 'data' => $roles
 ], 200
 );

 catch (Exception $e) 
 return response()->json([
 'message' => $e->getMessage(),
 'line' => $e->getLine()
 ], 400
 );
 
 

And my model code (AppUser) for obtaining the roles...

public function getPagesForRoles($userID = false)

 if (!$userID) 
 $userID = Auth::user()->id;
 

 $pagesForRoles = $this->role->getRoles();

 // check if user has role or not and add it to data
 if ($userID != 0) 

 foreach ($pagesForRoles as $key => &$role) 
 $hasRole = DB::table('user_roles')
 ->where('role_id', '=', $key)
 ->where('user_id', '=', $userID)
 ->get();

 if (isset($hasRole[0])) 
 if($key == 'admin') 
 $hasAdminRole = 1;
 
 $role['hasRole'] = 1;
 else 
 $role['hasRole'] = 0;
 
 
 

 if($userID == 1 

getRoles() that is called in the model code simply returns a hardcoded array.

EDIT: Its worth mentioning that when I do die('test'); in my controller function I do get a response every time.
