Javascript script.js 404 error only sometimes – Laravel

Working on my project, the JS script file only loads around half the time which is very frustrating. The error I receive is

localhost/:252 GET http://localhost/js/script.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)

I require the file at the bottom of the footer, which is in a blade component used on every page:

<x-footer />

</body>
<script src="{{ asset('js/script.js') }}"></script>
</html>`

I have tried moving the script file, renaming it, having it hard coded into each page instead of a blade component and still nothing works

FIXED! It appeared to be a docker issue. I had to docker compose down and docker compose up the container, which fixed it.
