Bluemix node.js app deployment fails when using Q node module

I am using Bluemix to deploy a sample node.js app. Everything works fine if i don't require Q package inside my app code. But the app deployment fails if i require the Q package inside my code.

Here's my app code -

/*eslint-env node*/
var express = require('express'),
    cfenv = require('cfenv'),
    //bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
    //multer = require('multer'),
    Q = require('Q');
var app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/views'));
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.render('index');
});
app.listen(appEnv.port, '0.0.0.0', function() {
  console.log("server starting on " + appEnv.url);
});

However, when i check the logs Q module is indeed installed and shows as below.

NOTE: If i remove the line Q = require('Q') everything works fine and app gets deployed and started successfully. Also i have tested it locally on my machine and it works perfectly fine.

Any suggestions or solutions? Thanks!

The key to your problem is this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'Q'

The name of the module is not Q, it is q. Change that value and it will fix your issue.

Try the following code:

var Q = require('q');

The q module name is q, not Q.
