Scene consist of 3 mesh: Cube, Cylinder and Sphere with three different materials. (you can have a look at the attached zip file which consist config file and blend file.
Solved by adding:
"add_properties": {
"cp_category_id": 1
}
How to add a category_id in blender?
If I check your config, you don't set the cp_category_id of the objects anywhere? The only thing you set is the background.
And none of the objects have a saved custom property in the .blend file, see red circle. Be aware if you set it there directly in blender to not use the cp_.

If you want to set the cp_category_id you can use the entity manipulation example:
{
"module": "manipulators.EntityManipulator",
"config": {
"selector": {
"provider": "getter.Entity",
"conditions": {
"name": "Sphere", # with this you can only select the sphere
"type": "MESH" # this guarantees that the object is a mesh, and not for example a camera
}
},
"cp_category_id": 1
}
},
Thank you for the prompt reply. Can you provide a documentation about each
parameters, I would like to create some module . BlenderProc is awesome
though, I kind of felt like lack of information on different parameters or
may be I am missing something where I can find. I am following your
examples but as a blender user there is a lot of things that can be
manipulated. For now it would be great if you can create something a basic
video or pdf which explains a way to create a module.
Generally, I wanted to change a color of a mesh randomly but even after
following example. I am unable create a one.
Thanks for your help. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Can you provide a documentation about each parameters,
Each parameter of the config is already explained, please check the corresponding class file. So for example for getter.Material

Parameters, which are of internal blender objects for those you have to check the open source blender API:
https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html

If you want to create a module, you have to understand how the bpy API works, check the link above.
Luckily, we already have a module for that:
I hope this closed the issue, if not please open a new one.
