Didn't notice the quest to go to Vivienne's party until after I already did the main story mission regarding Orlais and the Empress. Talked to the quest giver, got the invitation to the party and now I can't find the quest anywhere in my journal. Is it too late?
Did you recruit Sera? Vivienne's quest marker is above Sera's and Val Royeaux on the World Map, and if it's not there then I would infer that you've missed your chance to recruit her, unfortunately. I recruited everyone to Haven before doing the Main Quest to close the enormous rift outside it so I'm assuming that's what you're supposed to do? I don't know if there are other opportunities to recruit companions if you missed them the first time? I assume not though.
Sorry I can't be of much help on the matter! D:
Yea, I got Sera but not Vivienne before closing the big rift and moving to Skyhold. The mission giver was still there, but the mission itself never shows up in the journal, so I'm thinking you're probably right, and Vivienne has to be recruited while still in Haven.
Oh, well, that's what play again with a new character is for. 
I recruited Vivienne after getting to Skyhold. Is the Ghislain Estate on your World Map after talking to the mission giver?

No, it's not.
Unless you're going for achievements, is not a big deal. I recruited all on second run through cause of companion quests, but your party should really be:
Cassandra/Blackwall: tank
Sera (respec to dual-wield)/Iron Bull: pure dps
Solas (rift mage op): control
Inquisitor: best option is KE, honestly unless you're running a nightmare can do whatever. Recommend mage if respeccing Sera, or Rogue if running Iron Bull. Give Sera a bit of tankiness (constitution) if running her.
You should have a messenger contact you at Val Royeux with an invitation to Vivienne's party. Then you go to the world map and travel to her. The messenger found me in the market not long after I arrived towards the beginning of the game. The quest should remain until you do it so the opportunity to recruit her should still exist.
Yeah if you don't have that location on the world map, you'll have to either load a very old save or just play without her :/
Yea, for some reason I missed that quest the first time I went to Val Royeux. I noticed it after doing the story quest at the Winter Palace, so it looks like that's too late in the game to get Vivienne. Oh well, I wanted to also start a mage to go along with my archer, so I'll remember to get her in the second game.
There is a pretty good chance that you got the war room quest and already opened up the world map location for vivienne, but just never traveled there to pick her up. Make sure you are checking the world map, and not the war room map for the location required to get her.

Messenger never contacted me. When I left Val the first time I got a cutscene with the leader of the mages asking me to meet her in Redclift but that was it.
Is there no developer console or command I can use to force triggering the quest?!
Realizing I missed her is pissing me off something fierce and I dont know if I want to keep playing.

I don't believe you are stopped by the messenger. One of your party members (will/should) remark that there's a messenger but you are never removed from controlling your character and obligated to speak with him.
As to his location. After the scene with the mother cleric and the leader of the seekers when you first arrive in Val Royeaux there will be a messenger just outside the anteroom of the western merchant. That would be on the left hand side of the corridor as you are coming into the city.
I haven't seen any alternative ways to recruit her if that was missed.
Please forgive my english mistakes, I´m out of school for many years.
IT IS A CHANCE TO RECRUIT VIVIENNE EVEN AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE HAVEN! I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM RECENTLY, GHISLAIN ESTATE AS WELL AS VAL ROYEAUX WERE INACCESSIBLE FROM THE BATTLE ROOM AND I WAS ALREADY IN THE SKYHOLD. BUT YOU CAN STILL TRAVEL TO THE VAL ROYEAUX FROM NORMAL MAP, JUST CLICK TO THE MAP AND SELECT MAP OF THE WORLD. IN MY SAVE THE GUY WHO INVITES YOU TO THE GHISLAIN ESTATE WAS EVEN IN THE SAME PLACE VISITING ME TO VIVIENNE. IT EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE SIMPLE EVEN AFTER REACHING THE SKYHOLD, JUSTTRAVEL TO VAL ROYEAUX FROM THE COMMON MAP.
I HOPE IT WILL HELP

You, my friend, are brilliant. I have been trying for days to get the quest to pop up on the war tabel, and your method worked perfectly for me.
