I thought that menu item was configured to always show when the Addon Manager was built regardless of whether it can run or not.
I thought the same. But it does not show up. And Macro> Addons... does not work: no error message, nothing.
User Macros Location: Z:\FreeCAD_weekly-builds-25943-Win-Conda_vc14.x-x86_64\FreeCAD\Macro/

Is there any testing sequence for python console to see what is the issue?

Most likely is that your config file does not have the entries for the Addons. Portable or not, it is still necessary to have a set of configuration files.
OS: Windows 7 SP 1 (6.1)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.25844 (Git)
Build type: Release
Gene, what should be inside the config Files in regards to AddonManager?
And did I understand correct, that you compiled your version from GIT?

Removed all files from \Roaming\FreeCAD
made a new-clean unpacking from the downloaded archives:
FreeCAD_weekly-builds-25645-Win-Conda_vc14.x-x86_64.7z
FreeCAD_weekly-builds-25943-Win-Conda_vc14.x-x86_64.7z
All the same: Standard workbenches are available.
Tools>AddonManager - not shown
Macro >Macros...>Addons - does not launch the AddonManager
Workbenches Manually-copied to Mod folder - are not available.

Could anyone tell me the "bootstrap" sequence of AddonManager? So I could go through the code, and try to find the issue?
For example:
1. on start freecad.exe looks in the ...*.cfg, reads the location of ...
2. goes to location ... looks in each directory for a file ___.....*.py
3. If the file contains the line like "......." then this file is added to a list of loaded workbenches....
....
//Long ago, when was trying to solve the portability issue - to make AddonManager to save all downloaded workbenches locally - I faced this issue of A-M. disappearing from Tools. But don't remember now what these changes were.
