Cordova 4.3.0 - build command returns error Cannot find module 'Q'
Solution 1
There was a bug and I have released a patch to it:
Apache Cordova ios - Git Repository
Solution 2
This is a bug shown on case-sensitive systems such as Unix, Linux and some OS X (if set as case-sensitive).
So far, to fix it, you have to locate those files containing a line like this:
Q = require('Q')
You can locate the files while standing on your project directory using grep:
grep -HnrI "require('Q" *;
then, use any text editor to manually change the mentioned line to:
Q = require('q')
Alternatively you can edit the related files on a more straight forward way by running the following command on your project directory:
grep -rl "require('Q" * | xargs sed -i "" "s/'Q'/'q'/g";
The single line above searches and edits the files that need the change.

After updating cordova to version 4.3.0 the command:
cordova build
returns the following error:
module.js:340 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'Q' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.<anonymous> (/Volumes/CaseSensitive/ios_projects/_Tests/testGruntCordova/testGruntCordova/platforms/ios/cordova/lib/check_reqs.js:25:13) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /Volumes/CaseSensitive/ios_projects/_Tests/testGruntCordova/testGruntCordova/platforms/ios/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 8 You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project Error: /Volumes/CaseSensitive/ios_projects/_Tests/testGruntCordova/testGruntCordova/platforms/ios/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 8 at ChildProcess.whenDone (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/src/cordova/superspawn.js:131:23) at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:98:17) at maybeClose (child_process.js:753:16) at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:820:5)
I have already tried to remove and add the platform ios but nothing changes.
I have tried to run:
sudo npm install -g cordova / sudo npm install cordova sudo npm install -g Q / sudo npm install Q
but nothing changes.
Any help? Thank you very much
