As Michael explained, I neglected to point out that both the functions
need a parameter.
The macro function documentation page explains that IJ.log(string)
needs a string, and showProgress(progress) uses a number between 0 and
1:

You could put the progress indicator as the first statement in your "for" loop.
To use showProgress you could add this 1 line right after the "for"
statement (I'm redundantly including 1 statement before and after for
context):

for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
         showProgress((i+1) / list.length);
         name = list[i];

...or if commands you are running in the loop are using their own
progress bar clouding the progress of your macro, you could add this 1
line instead:

         IJ.log("Processing file " + i+1 + " of " + list.length);
