I am trying to click on the "Next Page"-Button on the Web of Science Search-Site to iterate through all pages. Here is a screenshot of the HTML of the page (highlighted is the button)

This is my code to find the button:

driver.find_element_by_class_name('mat-focus-indicator mat-icon-button mat-button-base').click()

But I receive this error: NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".mat-focus-indicator mat-icon-button mat-button-base"}

I have tried so many ways of identifying the button (find_by_id, find_by_name, find_by_link_text) but nothing works.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance

Maybe try with Query Selector like:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button[data-ta="next-page-button"]')

You can always try selectors on elemnts panel (like on screenshort) and type your selector in field "Find by string, css, or xpath"

Class name do not have support for spaces, remove spaces and put . to make it css selector :

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button.mat-focus-indicator.mat-icon-button.mat-button-base').click()

also try to put some wait before this to make it more consistent.
