What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. date.parseExact("05/05/2011 08:27","dd/MM/YYYY HH:mm")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the date to be correctly parsed. The return is null or undefined.

That's because it's an invalid format. The Y's should be lowercase:

Date.parseExact("05/05/2011","dd/MM/yyyy") works as intended. 

There is no YYYY format so your format means it's looking for "05/05/YYYY" 
which it obviously didn't find. User error, not library error basically :)
