What do you mean by "it is not working"? – Mate Mrše Sep 03 '19 at 06:42 — Mate Mrše, Sep 03 '19 at 06:42

data=driver.find_elements_by_class_name() accepts only single class name.

class="next navigation" defines two classes, next and navigation.

So you are only able to search for next or for navigation like this:

elementObj = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("next")
elementObj = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("navigation")

To find a element by multiple class names use xpath or cssSelector: Find div element by multiple class names?

elementObj = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".next.navigation"));

By.CLASS_NAME does not seem to work if there is space in the class name like in your case "next navigation"

Workaround should be to use CSS_SELECTOR instead of CLASS_NAME and using . instead of space

data = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".next.navigation")
