I have never experienced an error like this before. Is the website I'm visiting resistant to the use of automation tests?
Code:
public class DirectoryAutomation {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\MartinErlic\\eclipse-workspace\\DirectoryAutomation\\libs\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.arivify.com/property/az/mesa");
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath=//div[@id='__layout']/div/div[2]/section/div/table/tbody/tr/td")).click();
}
}
Exception:

The first warning message...
[WARNING]: This version of ChromeDriver has not been tested with Chrome version 79
...was due to incompatibility between the version of the binaries as you were trying to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session of:
Seems you have solved it by upgrading Chrome and ChromeDriver to identical levels.
You can find a detailed discussion in This version of ChromeDriver has not been tested with Chrome version 79 error running protractorE2E tests with ChromeDriver Chrome Selenium
The second error message ...
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression xpath=//a[contains(@href,'/property/search/hEC4ocSW0')] because of the following error:
TypeError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The result is not a node set, and therefore cannot be converted to the desired type.
...implies that the Locator Strategy you have constructed was not a valid locator.
From your code attempts it is pretty evident the xpath in:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath=//div[@id='__layout']/div/div[2]/section/div/table/tbody/tr/td")).click();
is mal-formatted.
As per the guidelines the ideal xpath expression should have been:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='__layout']/div/div[2]/section/div/table/tbody/tr/td")).click();
