Java LocalTime Parse Exception

I had a piece of code that worked just fine and now somehow doesn't work.

I am reading in a csv file and get an error when reading in a time field of the format 4:38.

My code that throws the exception is:

LocalTime.parse("4:38", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm"))

I also tried "H:mm" or "H:m" for the pattern but it throws the same exception: Text '4:38' could not be parsed at index 0. Any idea to why it throws an exception at the hour number?

I am using Java 8.

The pattern needs one single "H" and one single "m".

LocalTime.parse("4:38", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("H:m"));

It works fine for 4:38 and 14:38.
