argbash uses `#!/bin/bash`. On MacOS, this means the MacOS version of bash will be used. This wasn't a problem in the past, but it appears to be an issue now (maybe because of a change to one of the recent Gradle versions, or maybe because of a recent MacOS update). When MacOS bash was used, argbash would fail with a syntax error. This is because it uses bash features that are not available in the MacOS version of bash. The solution is to use /usr/bin/env bash to invoke argbash, which then uses whatever version of bash is first on the system path. For MacOS developers, this will be a more recent GNU version of bash.
