Custom widget doesn’t activate.

Custom widget won’t activate. I folowed your guide but widget doesn’t work. I activated it but after page reload it’s disabled again and I can’t use it.

I created plugin

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My Extended Widgets
Description: Custom Widgets.
Version: 0.1
*/
function add_my_awesome_widgets_collection($folders){
    $folders[] = __DIR__ . '/widgets';
    return $folders;
}
add_filter('siteorigin_widgets_widget_folders', 'add_my_awesome_widgets_collection');

and widget:

<?php
/*
Widget Name: First Test Widget!!
Description: An example widget.
Author: Me
*/

class My_First_Test_Widget extends SiteOrigin_Widget {

    function __construct() {
        //Here you can do any preparation required before calling the parent constructor, such as including additional files or initializing variables.

        //Call the parent constructor with the required arguments.
        parent::__construct(
        // The unique id for your widget.
            'my-first-test-widget',

            // The name of the widget for display purposes.
            __('First Test Widget', 'hello-world-widget-text-domain'),

            // The $widget_options array, which is passed through to WP_Widget.
            // It has a couple of extras like the optional help URL, which should link to your sites help or support page.
            array(
                'description' => __('A hello world widget.', 'hello-world-widget-text-domain'),
                'help'        => 'https://example.com/hello-world-widget-docs',
            ),

            //The $control_options array, which is passed through to WP_Widget
            array(
            ),

            //The $form_options array, which describes the form fields used to configure SiteOrigin widgets. We'll explain these in more detail later.
            array(
                'text' => array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => __('Hello world! goes here.', 'siteorigin-widgets'),
                    'default' => 'Hello world!'
                ),
            ),

            //The $base_folder path string.
            plugin_dir_path(__FILE__)
        );
    }

    function get_template_name($instance) {
        return 'first-widget-template';
    }

    function get_template_dir($instance) {
        return 'templates';
    }

    function get_style_name($instance) {
        return '';
    }

}

siteorigin_widget_register('my-first-test-widget', __FILE__, 'My_First_Test_Widget');
