Seeing different behaviour between `chaos validate` and `chaos run` when based on a URL

When I run chaos run with a valid URL to a experiment resource on GitHub I get the following:

export APPLICATION_ENTRYPOINT_URL=http://192.168.99.100:32474; 
            export SERVICE_NAME=my-service; \
                   chaos run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-chaos/experiment-catalog/master/kubernetes/kill_microservice/kill_microservice.json
[2019-09-27 10:52:35 INFO] Validating the experiment's syntax
[2019-09-27 10:52:35 ERROR] could not find Python module 'chaosk8s.actions' in activity 'kill-microservice'

That is entirely fine, as the experiment appears to be being downloaded and the complaint that I don’t have the Kubernetes extension in this virtual environment is sound.

However when I do the same with chaos validate I get a different output:

export APPLICATION_ENTRYPOINT_URL=http://192.168.99.100:32474; \
            export SERVICE_NAME=my-service; \
                   chaos validate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-chaos/experiment-catalog/master/kubernetes/kill_microservice/kill_microservice.json
Usage: chaos validate [OPTIONS] PATH
Try "chaos validate --help" for help.

Error: Invalid value for "PATH": Path "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-chaos/experiment-catalog/master/kubernetes/kill_microservice/kill_microservice.json" does not exist.

This feels like the toolkit can’t access the resource?

Sure. We could also assume you want to knwo if validation failed as well.

Please, open an issue on chaostoolkit-lib for this 😃
