pg_restore does not work with unknown error message - postgresql

Question

I tried to pg_dump from Postgresql 12.6 and pg_restore to Postgresql 14.5.
What I want is to move one table.
Here is the pg_dump command
pg_dump -Fc -b -U postgres -t test_eu3 -f C:\Users\...\Desktop\test_eu3.sql rulings
Here is the pg_restore command
pg_restore -v -U app_admin -d pre_rulings -t test_eu3 test_eu3.sql
Here is a message after hitting pg_restore command.
C:\Users\...>pg_restore -v -U app_admin -d pre_rulings -t test_eu3 test_eu3.sql

pg_restore: warning: errors ignored on restore: 1

It seems pg_dump woks without any problem, but pg_restore does not work with error message of "public.test_eu3" I don't know what it's indicating "public.test_eu3"?.
I've read pg_dump and pg_restore but it seems there is no solution for this problem.
How can I restore the database?
I just mentioned the above settings in this question but still if more code is required then tell me I'll update my question with that information. Thank you
Here is a message after hitting ALTER ROLE app_admin SET lc_messages = 'C'; command and restore.

The parameter lc_messages is set to a language that your terminal cannot display. There are two options:
If you connect to PostgreSQL with a superuser, you can use the PGOPTIONS environment variable to override the setting during your pg_restore. On Unix-like systems, that would work as follows:
export PGOPTIONS='-c lc_messages=C'
pg_restore ...
On Windows, you can use
set PGOPTIONS="-c lc_messages=C"
pg_restore ...
This will produce English error messages.
If you don't connect to PostgreSQL with a superuser, you are not allowed to change lc_messages. In that case, your only option is to ask the database administrator to change lc_messages in postgresql.conf (and reload PostgreSQL), or to set the parameter on your user:
ALTER ROLE app_admin SET lc_messages = 'C';
