解决方法：

请检查您当前使用的scrapy版本。我查看了官方的几个介绍文档，对比后发现response.follow()是在 scrapy1.4以后才有的，所以，如果你的scrapy版本低于1.4的话则不能使用此方法。你可以查看对应版本的官方文档以了解怎么使用。
比如我用的是1.3.3版本，则应该类似这样写（使用scrapy.Request()方法）

for next_page in response.css('li.nexta::attr(href)').extract():
    if next_page is not None:
        next_page = response.urljoin(next_page)
        yield scrapy.Request(next_page, self.parse)
